PART 1 Flashcards
The maximum flow rate a well could theoretically deliver with zero pressure at the middle of the perforations
AOFP / absolute open flow potential
A device that uses Pitot tubes to measure the gas flow rate within a pipeline
annubar
Fluid pressure in the annulus between tubing and casing or between two strings of casing
annular pressure
Production of formation fluid through the casing-tubing annulus
annular production
Petroleum with a high content of naphthenic compounds, such as asphaltenes
asphaltic crude / naphthene-base crude oil
A volumetric average of the pressure exerted by the fluids inside the reservoir at a specific depletion stage
average reservoir pressure
Pressure registered on equipment or devices when fluid flows through
backpressure
A volume of fluid that refers to the daily total production of oil and water from a well
BLPD / barrels of liquid per day
A common unit of measurement for the daily volume of crude oil produced by a well or from a field
BOPD / barrels of oil per day
A common unit of measurement for the volume of water produced each day by a well or in a field
BWPD / barrels of water per day
a unit of measurement for large volumes of natural gas
Bcf / billion cubic feet
a unit of measurement for large production rates of natural gas
BcfD /billion cubic feet per day
A fixed choke or a choke with an adjustable needle, sleeve or plate that can be changed to adjust the flow rate
beam / bean
An obstruction in the pipeline, composed of asphaltenes, hydrates, waxes, scale and sand deposited on the internal wall of the pipeline forming a barrier to the normal flow of fluids
blockage
A procedure in which different chemicals are added to bottle samples of an emulsion to determine which chemical is the most effective at breaking, or separating, the emulsion into oil and water
bottle test
