Oil and Gas Terms Beginning with “T” — Page 8

A technique for interpreting the results from a spinner flowmeter using two logging runs over the zone of interest, one up and one down. If the two passes are run at the same cable speed, they will overlay below the… Read more →

The simultaneous flow of both oil and free gas into a wellbore. This is thought to occur through common pore spaces, where the fluids flow simultaneously. In actuality, the situation is much more complicated, and much… Read more →

A vessel that separates the well fluids into gas and total liquid. A two-phaseseparator can be horizontal, vertical or spherical. The liquid (oil, emulsion) leaves the vessel at the bottom through a level-control or… Read more →

The elapsed time for a seismicwave to travel from its source to a given reflector and return to a receiver at the Earth's surface. Minimum two-way traveltime is that of a normal-incidence wave with zero offset. Read more →

What Are Type Curves? Type curves are families of dimensionless pressure-change and pressure-derivative solutions computed from analytical reservoir models, plotted on log-log scales so interpreters can overlay field… Read more →

A method for quantifying well and reservoir parameters such as permeability, skin, fracture half-length, dual-porosity parameters, and others, by comparing the pressure change and its derivative of the acquired data to… Read more →
