Please note that White Rose B-07 1, White
Rose B-07 2, White Rose B-07 4, White Rose B-07 6 and White Rose J-22 1 have
been completed and are ready for production operations when the Sea Rose
FPSO arrives on site in 2005. Accordingly, these wells have been dropped
from the weekly status report. Please refer to the C-NOPB�s Web site under
RESOURCE INFORMATION, and click on Development wells (White Rose Field) for
additional information on the status of White Rose development wells.

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).
