PART 4 Flashcards
A pipe fitting with several lateral outlets for connecting flowlines from one or more wells
flowline manifold
The fluid sample from the wellhead that is used to analyze the composition of the flow
flowstream sample
A phenomenon that occurs when the downhole pump rate exceeds the production rate of the formation
fluid pound
A tool run on wireline to obtain fluid samples and measure formation pressures
fluid tester / wireline formation tester
A high flow rate reached with a new well
flush production
A phenomenon that occurs when gas enters the subsurface sucker-rod pump.
gas interference
The ratio of produced gas to produced liquids (oil and water)
GLR / gas liquid ratio
A condition sometimes encountered in a pumping well when dissolved gas, released from solution during the upstroke of the plunger, appears as free gas between the valves
gas lock
The ratio of produced gas to produced oil
GOR / gas oil ratio
Untreated gas that leaves the well
green gas
The total production of oil, gas or water from a well or field over a specific period of time
gross production
Debris, dirt, paraffin, oil, mill scale and rust removed from a pipeline when a scraper or a pig is used for cleaning purposes
gunk
An artificial-lift system that operates using a downhole pump
hydraulic pumping
Natural gas injected into a formation to maintain or restore reservoir pressure
injection gas
The pressure needed to inject fluid into the formation to pressurize or displace hydrocarbons
injection pressure
