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.

prep: over. The term usually relates conditions of fluid flow 00 me side of a piece of equipment to conditions on the opposite side (e.g., a pressure drop across a separator).

the flow area generated by perforations across a zone of interest. Typical calculated perforation entrance hole areas are 1% to 6% of the pipe body. Used in pressure drop calculations.

the equation is used in the design of chokes and explains the manner in which pressure in the body in the body of the choke, downstream of the first pressure drop, is lower than the eventual recovery pressure at the end of the choke.

n: a device made up in the drill stem above the mill to collect bits of junk ground away during a milling operation. During milling, drilling mud under high pressure forces bits of junk up the narrow space between the boot sub and hole wall. When the junk reaches the wider annulus above the boot sub and pressure drops slightly, the junk falls into the boot sub. A boot sub also can be run above the bit during routine drilling to collect small pieces of junk that may damage the bit or interfere with its operation. Also called a junk sub or junk boot.

a device run in the drill string just above the mill to catch cuttings.

n: a device with an orifice installed in a line to restrict the flow of fluids. Surface chokes are part of the Christmas tree on a well and contain a choke nipple, or bean. with a small-diameter bore that serves to restrict the flow. Chokes are also used to control the rate of flow of the drilling mud out of the hole when the well is closed in with the blow-out preventer and a kick is being circulated out of the hole. See adjustable choke. bottomhole choke. positive choke.

n: A device incorporating an orifice that is used to control fluid flow rate or downstream system pressure. Chokes are available in several configurations for both fixed and adjustable modes of operation. Adjustable chokes enable the fluid flow and pressure

a device used to create a controlled pressure drop and allow some expansion of the gas. A choke holds a back pressure on the well fluids, controlling the expansion rate of the gas. It is useful for optimizing natural gas lift in oil wells with sufficient

a relative permeability effect where condensate, usually hydrocarbon, drops out of the vapor phase around the wellbore when the pressure drops below the dew point in response to drawdown or depletion. Gas rates can be severely reduced by the permeability

that part of the gas stream used to actuate or operate equipment (may be rendered unusable for sale due to pressure drop, etc.).

a program, typically in surface facilities and lines, to remove pressure drop causing flow restrictions.
