The Petroleum Extension Service (PETEX) is a unit of the Division of Continuing Education at The University of Texas at Austin and has been training companies and individuals since 1944.
1. a slotted opening or a full section removed in the pipe lining (casing) of a well, usually made to permit sidetracking.
Industry:Oil & gas
A test of the well’s producing potential usually done during the initial completion phase.
Industry:Oil & gas
A cable composed of steel wires twisted around a central core of fibre or steel wire to create a rope of great strength and considerable flexibility.
Industry:Oil & gas
A hoisting or pulling line powered by the cathead and used to lift heavy equipment on the rig. A structural framework erected near the top of the derrick for lifting material.
Industry:Oil & gas
In fields in which improved recovery techniques are being applied, the well through which oil is produced.
Industry:Oil & gas
A slender, rodlike or threadlike piece of metal usually small in diameter, that is used for lowering special tools (such as logging sondes, perforating guns, and so forth) into the well. Also called slick line.
Industry:Oil & gas
1. the elevated work area adjacent to the vdoor and ramp on a drilling rig where pipe is laid to be lifted to the derrick floor by the catline or by an air hoist. See catline. 2. any elevated walkway.
Industry:Oil & gas
A combination of a potential test and a bottomhole pressure test the purpose of which is to determine the effects of different flow rates on the pressure within the producing zone of the well to establish physical characteristics of the reservoir and to determine the maximum potential rate of flow.
Industry:Oil & gas
A formation fluid sampling device, actually run on conductor line rather than wireline, that also logs flow and shut-in pressure in rock near the borehole. A spring mechanism holds a pad firmly against the sidewall while a piston creates a vacuum in a test chamber. Formation fluids enter the test chamber through a valve in the pad. A recorder logs the rate at which the test chamber is filled. Fluids may also be drawn to fill a sampling chamber. Wireline formation tests may be done any number of times during one trip in the hole, so they are very useful in formation testing.
