seismic data capable of showing a three dimensional image of the reservoir. Strictly, 3-D is a closely spaced grid of 2-D seismic lines with interpolation to create a seismic cube. The cube can be sliced vertically to create 2-D lines or sliced horizontal

n: the average reservoir pressure at which an amount of gas insufficient to permit continued economic operation of a producing gas well is expelled. abd, abdn abbr: abandoned;used in drilling reports.

The minimum pressure of the reservoir when the wells are abandoned.

n: the maximum flow rate that a well could theoretically deliver with zero pressure at the face of the reservoir.

an economic quantity of hydrocarbon trapped in a permeable rock strata.

n: a method by which petroleum-bearing limestone or other formations are put into contact with an acid to enlarge the pore spaces and passages through which the reservoir fluids flow.

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 unit of volume often used in oil reservoir analysis, equivalent to the volume (as of oil or water) necessary to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot

n: the injection of air or gas into a liquid. In the oil industry a common form of aeration is the injection of natural gas into reservoir liquids standing in a well. Aeration with natural gas reduces the density of the liquids and allows declining reservoir pressure to lift the liquids. See gas lift.

n: The technique of injecting air or gas in varying amounts into a drilling fluid for the purpose of reducing hydrostatic head. See also Air Cutting.

intoduction of air.

n: 1.the injection of air into a reservoir in a pressure maintenance or an in situ combustion project. 2. the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a diesel engine by means of a jet of compressed air.

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.
