Industry:Energy
Gas produced in association with oil, or from a gas cap overlying and in contact with the crude oil in the reservoir. In general, most states restrict associated gas production since its indiscriminate production could reduce the ultimate oil recovery. Also, since some wells producing associated gas cannot be shut-in without also shutting-in the oil production, natural gas pipelines are generally required to take allowed associated gas produced from oil wells on a priority basis. See also GAS CAP.
Industry:Energy
Pressure against which a fluid is flowing. May be composed of friction in pipes, restrictions in pipes, valves, pressure in vessels to which fluid is flowing, hydrostatic head, or other resistance to fluid flow.
Industry:Energy
The direct measuring of consumption by specific end-use appliances, typically as part of load research studies or to measure the impacts of DSM programs.
