Glossary of Petroleum
Terminology
BOP/BOP Stack: Blowout
preventers/blowout preventer stack - an assembly of heavy-duty valves
attached to the wellhead to control well pressure and prevent a
blowout.
Casing: Steel pipe set in a well to
prevent the hole from sloughing or caving and to enable formations to be
isolated (there may be several strings of casing in a well, one inside the
other).
Cementing: Pumping a liquid slurry
of cement, water and other additives behind a string of casing to isolate
formations.
Completion/Completed: The activities
necessary to prepare a well for the production of oil or gas or the
injection of water or gas into the reservoir.
Fish: An object lost (or stuck) in
the wellbore obstructing operations.
Fishing: Operations to recover a
fish.
Injecting: Injecting water or gas
into the reservoir for the purpose of maintaining reservoir pressure,
maximizing oil recovery and conserving resources.
Liner: A length of casing suspended
from the base of a previously installed casing string (a liner does not
extend back to the surface of the well).
Logging: Acquisition of downhole
data using tools run in the well, usually on wireline.
Perforate/Perforating: Piercing the
casing and cement using shaped explosive charges to provide a flow
path for formation fluids
Producing/Production: Flowing oil
and/or gas from a well to the production systems.
Production tree: An arrangement of
heavy-duty valves and fittings installed on the wellhead to control flow
from the well and/or to facilitate injection operations.
Reaming: An operation to restore a
wellbore to its original diameter (occasionally, a wellbore will cave
in).
Seismic kilometers completed: The total number
of kilometers of data recorded in a geophysical program.
Shut-in: A well in which the valves
in the production tree have been closed to cease production or injection
operation on a well.
Sidetracking: The operation of
deviating a well around a fish.
Spud: The initial penetration of the
ground or seafloor - the start of the drilling operation.
Suspension/Suspend: The temporary
cessation of drilling or production operations in a well.
Well workover: A program of
work performed on an existing well.
Wellbore: The hole drilled by the
drill bit.
Wellhead: Steel equipment installed
at the surface of the well containing an assembly of heavy duty hangars
and seals (the wellhead is used to support the weight of casing strings
hung from it and to contain well pressure).
