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: termination of a jurisdictional sale or service. Under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must determine in advance that the present or future public convenience and necessity" or depletion of gas supplies requires termination.

n: pressure exceeding or falling below the pressure to be expected at a given depth. Normal pressure increases approximately 0.465 pow1ds per square inch per foot of depth or 10.5 kilopascals per metre of depth. Thus, normal pressure at 1,000 feet is 465 pounds per square inch;at 1,000 metres it is 10,500 kilopascals. See pressure gradient.

n: A formation pressure that deviates from the normal formation fluid hydrostatic pressure. Such pressure may be classified as "subnormal" (lower than normal) or "overpressured" (higher than normal).

a perforating process involving pumping a slurry of liquid and size particles through a nozzle to cut through steel and rock.

n: the density of a solid or liquid substance at a specified temperature. Sometimes referred to as true density or density in vacuo. See density.

n: the force in dynes that a stationary flat plate with a surface area of 1 square centimetre exerts on a similar parallel plate 1 centimetre away and moving in its own plane with a velocity of 1 centimetre per second, the space between the plates being filled with the liquid in question. It is a measure of the resistance that the liquid offers to shear. absolute error n: the difference between the result of a measurement and the true value of the measured quantity as determined by means of a suitable standard device.

n: the value obtained when the absolute dynamic viscosity is divided by the density (expressed in grams per cubic centimetre) of the liquid at the temperature concerned.

n: total pressure measured from an absolute vacuum. It equals the sum of the gauge pressure and the atmospheric pressure. Expressed in pounds per square inch.

the reading of gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure.

n: a hypothetical temperature at which there is a total absence of heal Since heat is a result of energy caused by molecular motion, there is no motion of molecules with respect to each other at absolute zero.

zero point on the absolute temperature scale;equal to -273.16 degrees C, or 0 degrees K (Kelvin),or -459.69 degrees F, or 0 degrees R (Rankine).
