Industry:Oil & gas
A drilling rig on which the energy from the power source—usually diesel engines—is changed to electricity by generators mounted on the engines. The electrical power is then distributed through electrical conductors to electric motors. The motors power the various rig components. Compare mechanical rig.
Industry:Oil & gas
A form of artificial lift that utilises an electric submersible multistage centrifugal pump. Electric power is conducted to the pump by a cable attached to the tubing.
Industry:Oil & gas
To place a packer in the wellbore and activate it so that it forms a seal between the tubing and the casing.
Industry:Oil & gas
A record of certain electrical characteristics (such as resistivity and conductivity) of formations traversed by the borehole. It is made to identify the formations, determine the nature and amount of fluids they contain, and estimate their depth. Also called an electric log or electric survey.
Industry:Oil & gas
A device with an elastomer packing element that depends on pressure below the packing to effect a seal in the annulus. Used primarily to run or pull pipe under low or moderate pressures. Also called a stripper.
Industry:Oil & gas
Cylindrical bars that support the elevators and attach them to the hook.
Industry:Oil & gas
A piece of downhole equipment that consists of a sealing device, a holding or setting device, and an inside passage for fluids.
