Oilfield

Pulsed neutron spectroscopy measurement

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A measurement of the spectrum of gamma rays emitted by a formation bombarded by high-energy neutrons. Neutrons are emitted by a high-energy neutron generator (14. 1 MeV). The neutrons interact with ...

Thermal neutron porosity measurement

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A measurement of the slowing down and capture of neutrons between a source and one or more thermal neutron detectors. The neutron source emits high-energy neutrons that are slowed mainly by elastic ...

Propagation resistivity measurement

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A measurement of the formation resistivity made on drillpipe at a frequency in the range of 100 kHz to 10 GHz, most commonly 2 MHz. The basic measurement is accomplished using a transmitter and two ...

Superposition in space

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A mathematical computation that accounts for production from multiple wells. Image wells are used to model the effect of impermeable barriers.

Dielectric

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A material used in a capacitor to store a charge from an applied electrical field. A pure dielectric does not conduct electricity.

Squeeze manifold

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A manifold connected within the surface treating lines that is configured to enable control and routing of fluids during a squeeze operation. Most squeeze manifolds have treating line connexions with ...

Quantile map

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A map based on quantile values from the probabilities of the values of the data. This map is used to reveal problems with distributions of variables in geostatistical studies.
