_______________________________________
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).
