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 fish.
Injecting: Injecting
water or gas into the resevoir for the purpose of maintaining resevoir
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 kilometres: The
total number of kilometres 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 sea floor - 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 it and to contain well pressure).
