PART 11 Flashcards
A device used to catch and hold the debris flowing in pipelines
strainer
In a sucker-rod pump, one complete round of the polished rod (surface stroke)
stroke
The number of strokes the polished rod completes in one minute
strokes per minute
Light crude oil containing sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide
sulfur light crude
Oil containing small amounts of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide
sweet crude oil
Natural gas that contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide
sweet gas
A temperature data set taken at various depths in the wellbore
temperature survey
a common measure for volume of gas, standard conditions are normally set at 60oF and 14.7 psia
TSCF / thousand standard cubic feet per day
In a subsurface sucker-rod pump, the valve that closes the barrel chamber allowing the trapped fluid to be lifted in the upstroke of the pump
traveling valve
Pressure on the tubing in a well, as measured at the wellhead
tubing pressure
In sucker-rod pumping, a situation that occurs when thestrokelength at the downhole pump is shorter than the surface stroke length
under travel
Gas that is being stored in salt domes, salt layers or depleted oil and gas fields
underground gas storage
The stage of downhole pumping at which the polished rod is going up and the downhole pump is pumping fluid
upstroke
The ratio of water produced compared to the volume of total liquids produced
water cut
The ratio ofproduced waterto produced oil
water oil ratio
