v: to treat oil-bearing limestone or other formations with acid for the purpose of increasing production. Hydrochloric or other acid is injected into the formation under pressure. The acid etches the rock, enlarging the pore spaces and passages through which the reservoir fluids flow. Acid also removes formation damage by dissolving material plugging the rock surrounding the wellbore. The acid is held under pressure for a period of time and then pumped out, after which the well is swabbed and put back into production. Chemical inhibitors combined with the acid prevent corrosion of the pipe. acid recovery plant n: plant for therecovery of sulfuric acid from acid sludge.

n: a method of improved recovery in which alkaline chemicals such as sodium hydroxide are injected during a water flood or combined with polymer flooding. The chemicals react with the natural acid present in certain crude oils to form surfactants within the reservoir. The surfactants enable the water to move additional quantities of oil from the depleted reservoir. Compare chemical flooding, polymer flooding, water flooding.

n: natural gas that overlies and contacts crude oil in a reservoir. Where reservoir conditions are such that the production of associated gas does not substantially affect the recovery of crude oil in the reservoir, such gas may also be reclassified as non-associated gas by a regulatory agency. Also called associated free gas. See gas cap.

the natural gas which occurs with crude oil. It may be free or dissolved. When it occurs as free gas, it may be called unassociated gas.

Oil and gas reservoir with a gas cap. Gas production from these reservoirs may be restricted in order to preserve the gas cap energy and ultimate recovery.

n: (ADS) a oneperson atmospheric suit rated to depths of 2,300 feet (701 metres). Advantages include allowing the operator to work in a safe environment for debris salvage or recovery operations.

v: the procedure whereby one threaded piece (such as a pipe) is unscrewed from another.

v: To disconnect a string of pipe by unscrewing one threaded piece from another.

unscrewing a tool or equipment. In pipe recovery, back-off of a joint precedes recovery of the upper section in a well. Common in plug and abandonment or sidetrack operations.

n: A kind of double core barrel drill. The top of inner barrel is hung by ball bearing. It is good for improvement of core recovery if inner barrel does not roll with outer barrel.

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.
