n: the US Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service rules and regulations that must be followed by those who drill and produce oil and gas wells located in the Outer Continental Shelf.

annualized average incremental oil rate.

American Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors.

v: to cease producing oil and gas from a well when it becomes unprofitable or to cease further work on a newly drilled well when it proves not to contain profitable quantities of oil or gas. Several steps are involved: part of the casing may be removed and salvaged;one or more cement plugs are placed in the borehole to prevent migration of fluids between the different formations penetrated by the borehole;and the well is abandoned. In most oil-producing states, it is necessary to secure permission from official agencies before a well may be abandoned.

to cease efforts to produce or inject fluids in a wells and to plug the well sufficiently to protect the environment and the ability to redrill and develop other reserves at a later date.

n: a well not in use because it was a dry hole originally, or because it has ceased to produce. Statutes and regulations in many states require the plugging of abandoned wells to prevent the seepage of oil, gas, or water from one stratum of underlying rock to another.

n: Usually refers to a well which has no valuable oil or gas production or a dry hole. In general, it should be packed by cement plug.

n: the theory that minerals such as oil and gas are fully owned in place before they are extracted and reduced to possession. Despite this theory, title to oil and gas may be lost by legitimate drainage and by the rule of capture. Also called ownership in place. See rule of capture.

n: a measure of the ability of a single fluid (such as water, gas, or oil) to flow through a rock formation when the formation is totally filled (saturated) with that fluid. The permeability measure of a rock filled with a single fluid is different from the permeability measure of the same rock filled with two or more fluids. Compare effective permeability, relative permeability.

permeability to a single phase fluid in a cleaned core.

v: I. to take in and make part of an existing whole. 2. to recover liquid hydrocarbons from natural or refinery gas in a gas- absorption plant. The wet gas enters the absorber at the bottom and rises to die top, encountering a stream of absorption oil (a light oil) travelling downward over bubblecap trays, valve trays, or sieve trays. The light oil removes, or absorbs, the heavier liquid hydrocarbons from the wet gas. See bubble-cap tray, sieve tray, valve tray.

to fill part or all of the pore spaces.

n: see absorption oil.

n: A material that can absorb other materials. There are a lot of

n: the maximum volume of natural gas that can be processed through an absorber at a specified absorption oil rate, temperature, and pressure without exceeding pressure drop or any oilier operating limitation.
