PART 6 Flashcards
Liquid compounds such as propanes, butanes, pentanes and heavier products extracted from the gas flowstream
liquid hydrocarbons
Gas injected into a gas-condensate reservoir to maintain the pressure level, thus preventing further condensate dropout
makeup gas
A calibrated tank that automatically measures the liquid volume passing through it
measuring tank / metering tanks / dump tanks
A device used to measure volumes or rates of fluids (liquid or gas)
meter
The operation to adjust the meter to a specific standard
meter calibration
The maximum and the minimum rate of flow specified by the manufacturer to maintain accuracy in the readings
meter capacity
The difference in gas volume registered using two different meters
meter difference
A correction number for the meter, determined by calibrating the meter using an incompressible fluid (liquid)
meter factor
The volume of liquid that is not registered by the meter at a specific flow rate
meter slippage
A compound or complex ion that is formed by the union of water with methane
methane hydrate
A common measure for gas volume, standard conditions are normally set at 60oF and 14.7 psia
MMSCF / million standard cubic feet
A type of deliverability test conducted in gas wells to generate a stabilized gas deliverability curve (IPR), overcomes the limitation of the isochronal test, which requires long shut-in times to reach the average reservoir pressure
modified isochronal test
A tubular placed at the bottom of the subsurface sucker-rod pump and inside the gas anchor to drive the formation fluid with little or no gas into the pump
mosquito bill
Large diameter pipe placed outside the gas anchor to reduce the amount of solids carried by the formation liquid entering the subsurface sucker-rod pump
mud anchor
A device that can register individual fluid flow rates of oil and gas when more than one fluid is flowing through a pipeline
multiphase meter
