PART 5 Flashcards
A multiphase-flow regime, with gas as the continuous phase, in which oil or water exists as very small, approximately homogeneously distributed droplets
mist flow
A device for measuring the diameter of the internal wall of a casing or tubing using multiple arms
multifinger caliper
A technique for interpreting the results from a spinner flowmeter using several logging runs of the flowmeter over the zone of interest at different speeds, both up and down
multipass method
Referring to a fluid with several different immiscible fluids (oil, water or gas)
multiphase
A record of the fractions, or holdups, of gas, oil and water present at different depths in a producing well using a combination of nuclear measurements recorded by a pulsed-neutron spectroscopy device
multiphase holdup log / pulsed neutron holdup log
A record of the quantity of different radioactive isotopes near the borehole
multiple isotope log
The technique used to produce a multiple-isotope log
multiple isotope spectroscopy
A record of elemental concentrations derived from the characteristic energy levels of gamma rays emitted by a nucleus that has been activated by neutron bombardment
neutron activation log
A record of the sound measured at different positions in the borehole
noise log
A measure of the amount of light reflected by a fluid from an optical probe
optical index
A phenomenon exploited for the purpose of detecting and quantifying the flow of water in or around a borehole based on oxygen activation
oxygen activation
A device for measuring in situ the velocity of fluid flow in a production or injection well in which a packer is inflated between the tool housing and the casing wall
packer flowmeter
A record of the velocity with which a particular phase (gas, oil or water) moves in a producing well
phase velocity log
A record of the density in and around a completed well using a radioactive source of gamma rays and a detector
photon log / gravel-pack log
To stay on the surface of the formation or a perforation tunnel
