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).
