v: To stop drilling or production operations when it becomes unprofitable. A wildcat may be abandoned after poor results from a well test. Cement plugs are placed in the wellbore to prevent fluid migration between different zones.

formations below the deepest zones that can be imaged by an acoustic process.

n: Schlumberger wireline tool that measures phase shift and attenuation of a 1100 MHz wave. Used for Hydrocarbon identification independent of formation water salinity, thin bed detection, Hydrocarbon saturation and mobility and to evaluate invaded zones.

n: Made by adding gas into common water base drilling fluid. Mainly used to protect circulation loss in low pressure formation and leakage zone.

n: a large, sloping sedimentary deposit at the mouth of a canyon, laid down by intermittently flowing water, especially in arid climates, and composed of gravel and sand. The deposit tends to be coarse and unworked, with angular, poorly sorted grains in thin, overlapping sheets. A line of fans may eventually coalesce into an apron that grows broader and higher as the slopes above are eroded away.

land counterpart of a river delta. Characteristic of sediments that have been transported by a fast moving stream then dropped out of the flow as the stream velocity drops as it spreads out. Typical of zones of heavy water runoff such as found at the base

n: the standard unit of gamma ray measurement. Standardisation of this unit results from the normalisation of the detector-measurement systems of all primary service companies in the API test pits at the University of Houston. The API gamma ray unit is defined as 1/200 of the difference in log deflection between two zones of different gamma ray intensity. The test pit is constructed so that the average midcontinent shale will record about 100 API gamma ray units.

n: The resistivity recorded by electrical logging. It is different from the real resistivity due to the influence of cake, invaded zone and surrounding rock.

resistivity recording where the measured value differs from the true or defined state by the influence of the mud column, invasion of a zone by fluids, or wellbore anomalies.

n: 1. a permeable body of rock capable of yielding groundwater to wells and springs. 2. the part of a water drive reservoir that contains the water.

n: (1) water bearing strata. (2) aqueous section in water controlled reservoir.

a water containing formation that may or may not be directly connected to the hydrocarbon bearing zone. A connected aquifer may or may not offer pressure support to the pay.

a large, load supporting formation that may serve to reduce the total overburden load on a pay zone. These formations may cover hundreds of square miles over a basin. A second use is as a semi-stable structure of sand grains around a perforation or other
