PART 7 Flashcards
Crude oil containing asphaltic materials but very little or no paraffin wax
naphthene base crude oil
Components of natural gas that are liquid at surface in field facilities or in gas-processing plants
NGL / natural gas liquids
A natural gas liquid with a vapor pressure intermediate between condensate and liquefied petroleum gas
natural gasoline
The volume of gas produced less gas injected
net gas production
The volume of oil produced less oil injected
net oil production
Contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide [H2S], carbon dioxide [CO2], nitrogen [N2], and water, which are commonly associated with oil and gas production
nonhydrocarbon contaminants
An instrument that records the flow rate of gas through a pipeline
orifice meter
A condition in downhole pumping operations that occurs when the stroke length at the subsurface sucker-rod pump is longer than the surface stroke length (polished rod)
over travel / plunger overtravel
A crude oil containing paraffin wax but very few asphaltic materials
paraffin base crude oil
A situation in which the well and the reservoir are continuously monitored
permanent well monitoring
A device with blades or brushes inserted in a pipeline for cleaning purposes
pig
A spheroid implement used to displace liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas pipelines
pig
To run a scraper, or pig, through a pipeline for cleaning purposes
pig
The trip of a pig through a pipeline for cleaning purposes
pig run
The act of forcing a device called a pig through a pipeline for the purposes of displacing or separating fluids, and cleaning or inspecting the line
pigging
