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). |
