a flexible disk-shaped device, usually made of rubber, with a hole in the center through which drill pipe or tubing passes. It is used to wipe off mud, oil, or other liquid from the pipe as it is pulled from the hole.
Industry:Oil & gas
a device placed in the drill or work string that catches debris when a drillable object is being milled or drilled downhole.
Industry:Oil & gas
fluid (such as gas, oil, or water) that exists in a subsurface formation.
Industry:Oil & gas
one of a series of devices that continuously monitor the level of the drilling mud in the mud tanks. The indicator usually consists of float devices in the mud tanks that sense the mud level and transmit data to a recording and alarm device (a pit-volume recorder) mounted near the driller’s position on the rig floor. If the mud level drops too low or rises too high, the alarm may sound to warn the driller of lost circulation or a kick.
Industry:Oil & gas
a machine designed specifically for sucker rod pumping. An engine or motor (prime mover) is mounted on the unit to power a rotating crank. The crank moves a horizontal member (walking beam) up and down to produce reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion operates the pump.
Industry:Oil & gas
the force exerted by fluids or gas in a formation, recorded in the hole at the level of the formation with the well shut in. Also called reservoir pressure or shut-in bottomhole pressure.
Industry:Oil & gas
the arm that connects the crank to the walking beam on a pumping unit by means of which rotary motion is converted to reciprocating motion.
Industry:Oil & gas
a flexible band or cord connecting and wrapping around each of two or more pulleys to transmit power or impart motion.
