- Company Profile:
Liquid condensed by a scrubber following a compression and cooling process.
Industry:Oil & gas
Liquid hydrocarbon utilized to remove heavier components from the gas stream in a gas processing plant.
Industry:Oil & gas
Large diameter pipe placed outside the gas anchor to reduce the amount of solids carried by the formation liquid entering the subsurface sucker-rod pump.
Industry:Oil & gas
Lean oil that has absorbed heavier hydrocarbon components from a gas stream.
Industry:Oil & gas
Light crude oil containing sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
Industry:Oil & gas
Lightweight elevators designed for running and retrieving the sucker-rod string in wells equipped with a rod pump. Rod elevators can be used on a workover rig or a rod unit specifically designed for running and retrieving rod strings.
Industry:Oil & gas
Liquid compounds such as propanes, butanes, pentanes and heavier products extracted from the gas flowstream.
Industry:Oil & gas
Injection gas that has returned to surface and it is not reinjected into the gas-lift system. Instead, it is transferred to a pipeline. This gas is sometimes called spent gas-lift gas.
Industry:Oil & gas
Laboratory analyses performed on formation core samples as part of a stimulation-treatment design process. Tests such as the formation flow potential, fracture orientation and fluid compatibility tests are commonly run in preparation for stimulation treatments.
Industry:Oil & gas
Laboratory study of a sample of a geologic formation, usually reservoir rock, taken during or after drilling a well. Economic and efficient oil and gas production is highly dependent on understanding key properties of reservoir rock, such as porosity, permeability, and wettability. Geoscientists have developed a variety of approaches, including log and core analysis techniques, to measure these properties. Core analysis is especially important in shale reservoirs because of the vertical and lateral heterogeneity of the rocks. Core analysis can include evaluation of rock properties and anisotropy; organic matter content, maturity, and type; fluid content; fluid sensitivity; and geomechanical properties. This information can be used to calibrate log and seismic measurements and to help in well and completion design, well placement, and other aspects of reservoir production. <br>
