PART 3 Flashcards
A device for measuring in-situ the velocity of fluid flow in a well, usually one completed for production or injection
flow meter
A recording of the in-situ rate of fluid flow at different depths in a well, normally one completed for production or injection
flow profile
A description of the geometrical distribution of a multiphase fluid moving through a pipe
flow regime
A description of the geometrical distribution of a fluid moving through a pipe
flow structure
A neutron porosity log recorded while the well is flowing to determine the gas-oil contact in the borehole
flowing neutron log
A record of the density, or changes in density, of fluids in a production or injection well
fluid density log
An in-situ measurement of the flow profile made by pumping different fluids down the tubing and casing and observing the interface between them
fluid interface log
A distortion of the magnetic flux that has been introduced into a casing by a low-frequency electromagnet or permanent magnet
flux leakage / magnetic flux leakage
commonly deployed for offshore production in locations that have little infrastructure
FPSO / floating production, storage, and offloading vessel
In a gradiomanometer tool or pressure derivative calculation, the apparent increased fluid density observed due to frictional pressure losses along the tool and casing in a fast-flowing fluid
friction effect
A type of flowmeter in which the spinner blades are collapsed to pass through the tubing and other restrictions, and then opened up below to sense the full cross section of the casing or openhole
fullbore spinner
A device for measuring the density of fluids in a completed well, using a radioactive source of gamma rays and a detector
gamma ray densitometer / nuclear fluid densimeter
A record of the fraction of gas present at different depths in the borehole
gas holdup log
A device for measuring the average density of the fluid at different depths in a completed production or injection well to produce a fluid-density log
gradiomanometer
A record of the quality of a gravel pack and the quantity of solid particles it contains
gravel pack log
