gas reservoir pressure
61Rhum gasfield — The Rhum Gas Field is located convert|240|mi|km north east of Aberdeen in 109 metres (350 ft) of water. Gas production and export began on 20 December 2005Development of the Rhum project was circa £350 million. Prior to the start of production,… …
62List of pipeline accidents — The following is a list of pipeline accidents: This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries. Contents 1 Bel …
63Steam assisted gravity drainage — (SAGD) is an enhanced oil recovery technology for producing heavy crude oil and bitumen. It is an advanced form of steam stimulation in which a pair of horizontal wells is drilled into the oil reservoir, one a few metres above the other. Low… …
64Differential sticking — A diagram showing forces at work during differential sticking. The small black arrows represent pressure exerted on the drill pipe from the wellbore, the red arrows represent pressure exerted on the pipe from the formation (smaller than in the… …
65Coal bed methane extraction — (CBM extraction) is a method for extracting methane from a coal deposit. Contents 1 Basic principles 2 Areas with coal bed methane extraction 3 Measuring the gas content of coal …
66History of the petroleum industry in Canada (frontier exploration and development) — discoveries took place near population centres or along lines of penetration into the frontier. The first oil play, for example, was in southern Ontario. The first western natural gas discovery occurred on a Canadian Pacific Railway right of way …
67Primary Recovery — The first stage of oil and gas production, in which natural reservoir drives are used to recover hydrocarbons. Due to the difference in pressure within the reservoir and at the bottom of the well, hydrocarbons are driven towards the well and to… …
68Speed of sound — Sound is a vibration that travels through an elastic medium as a wave. The speed of sound describes how much distance such a wave travels in a certain amount of time. In SI Units with dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 343 m/s. This… …
69Relief valve — The relief valve is a type of valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system or vessel which can build up by a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, or fire. The pressure is relieved by allowing the pressurised fluid to flow… …
70Hydraulic accumulator — A hydraulic accumulator is an energy storage device. It is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an external source. That external source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a… …
