to drain off liquid or gas, generally slowly, through a valve called a bleeder. To bleed down, or bleed off, means to release pressure slowly from a well or from pressurized equipment.
Industry:Oil & gas
a fluid, such as water, oil, or acid, used in hydraulic fracturing. The fluid carries propping agents that hold open the formation cracks after hydraulic pressure dissipates. See acid fracturing, hydraulic fracturing, propping agents.
Industry:Oil & gas
a disk (a compact) of very small synthetic diamonds, metal powder, and tungsten carbide powder that are used as cutters on PDC bits.
Industry:Oil & gas
one or more pulleys, or sheaves, mounted into a common framework in order to rotate on a common axis. The crown block is an assembly of sheaves mounted on beams at the top of the derrick or mast. The traveling block is an assembly of sheaves mounted in a framework that allows the block to move up and down by use of the drilling line that is reeved over the crown block sheaves an through the traveling block sheaves.
Industry:Oil & gas
a device run on wireline into the wellbore and inside the fishing string and fish to locate the area where a fish is stuck. When the drill string is pulled and turned, the electromagnetic fields of free pipe and stuck pipe differ. The free-point indicator is able to distinguish these differences, which are registered on a metering device at the surface.
Industry:Oil & gas
1. the condition of being porous (such as a rock formation). 2. the ratio of the volume of empty space to the volume of solid rock in a formation, indicating how much fluid a rock can hold.
Industry:Oil & gas
an uncontrolled flow of gas, oil, or other well fluids from the well.
Industry:Oil & gas
resistance to movement created when two surfaces are in contact. When friction is present, movement between the surfaces produces heat.
Industry:Oil & gas
a mast mounted on a truck and capable of being erected as a single unit. See telescoping mast.
Industry:Oil & gas
one or more valves installed at the wellhead to prevent the escape of pressure either in the annular space between the casing and the drill pipe or in open hole (for example, hole with no drill pipe) during drilling or completion operations. See annular blowout preventer and ram blowout preventer.
