overpresured zone.

n pi: impermeable shales, highly compressed by overburden pressure, that are characterized by large amounts of formation fluids and abnormally high pore pressure.

n: the pressure to which a formation is subjected by its overburden. Also called ground pressure, lithostatic pressure, rock pressure.

n: the load exerted by a column of rock.under normal conditions this pressure is approximately 1psi/ft,this is also known as lithostatic pressureor overburden pressure.

the heat of the earth, usually from produced natural steam, heat recovered from circulated water or direct heat-to-energy conversion (on-going research).

n: 1. a subsurface layer of rock containing steam or hot water that is trapped in the layer by overlying impermeable rock. 2. a subsurface layer of rock that is hot but contains little or no water. Geothermal reservoirs are a potential source of energy.

n: a cylinder consisting of several perforated trays with bubble caps mounted over the perforations and functioning as a part of a glycol dehydration system.

n: a component in the contactor of a glycol dehydration unit that recovers any glycol that has gotten past the mist extractor.

the CT guide arch over the injection head.

n: any device that limits or controls the speed of an engine.
