11Earth Sciences — ▪ 2009 Introduction Geology and Geochemistry The theme of the 33rd International Geological Congress, which was held in Norway in August 2008, was “Earth System Science: Foundation for Sustainable Development.” It was attended by nearly… …
12Slickline — As well depths have increased over the years since the first measuring lines were brought into use, accompanied by increased working loads, it has become necessary to develop wireline having a high strength/weight ratio.There is a need for… …
13Trace heating — Electric Trace Heating, also known as Electric Heat Tracing and Electric Surface Heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels. Trace heating takes the form of a electrical like heating element run in… …
14Fiber optic sensor — A fiber optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ( intrinsic sensors ), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ( extrinsic sensors ). Fibers have… …
15Mud logging — Mud log in process. Well logging Gamma ray logging Spontaneous potential logging Resistivity logging Density logging …
16Spontaneous potential — In the field of formation evaluation, spontaneous potential (SP) is a naturally occurring electric potential difference in the Earth, measured by an electrode in a borehole relative to a fixed reference electrode on the surface. SP was first… …
17Fiber Bragg grating — A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by adding a periodic variation to the… …
18Calcium carbonate — Calcium carbonate …
19Oil well — The pumpjack, such as this one located south of Midland, Texas, is a common sight in West Texas. An oil well is a general term for any boring through the earth s surface that is designed to find and acquire petroleum oil hydrocarbons. Usually… …
20Wireline Logging — consists of measuring and recording the physical properties of the rocks in oil wells. Logging consists of introducing sensors in a borehole via a wireline , an electromechanical cable. Power and control is provided to the sensors inside the… …
