PART 2 Flashcards
A specimen obtained from the bottom part of the tank or lower point in a pipeline
bottom sample
A perforated tubular attached to the subsurface sucker-rod pump that controls the entrance of gas
bottomhole gas separator / gas anchor
measured from a liquid sample of the production stream, includes free water, sediment and emulsion and is measured as a volume percentage of the production stream
BS&W
Several pipes (production or injection, gas lift) that are jointly insulated to keep together production lines
bundle
Compounds or complex ions that are formed by the union of water with other substances
clathrate / hydrate
The flow of different fluids such as oil, gas or water, in a single production stream
composite stream
A natural gas liquid with a low vapor pressure compared with natural gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas
condensate
Hydrocarbons that are in the gaseous phase at reservoir conditions but condense into liquid as they travel up the wellbore and reach separator conditions
condensate liquids
The ratio of the volume of liquid produced to the volume of gas produced
condensate ratio
Part of rod pumping unit installed on the end of the walking beam, opposite to the end over the well, and counterbalances the weight of the sucker rods and the fluid being pumped
counterbalance weight
In sand control operations, the maximum production rate below which the production of solids along with the produced fluid is uniform
critical flow rate
The gas flow rate equivalent to the speed of sound in that fluid
critical gas flow rate
The barrel of the sucker rod pump
cylinder
A unit of measurement established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that indicates the density of a liquid
degree API
Tests in an oil or gas well to determine its flow capacity at specific conditions of reservoir and flowing pressures
deliverability test / productivity test
