  2. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    Pump pressure, which is also referred to as system pressure loss, is the sum total of all the pressure losses from the oil well surface equipment, the drill pipe, the drill collar, the drill bit, and annular friction losses around the drill collar and drill pipe. It measures the system pressure loss at the start of the circulating system and ...

  3. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  4. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    Well control is the technique used in oil and gas operations such as drilling, well workover and well completion for maintaining the hydrostatic pressure and formation pressure to prevent the influx of formation fluids into the wellbore.

  5. Net positive suction head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_positive_suction_head

    Example Number 2: A well or bore with an operating level of 5 metres below the intake, minus a 2 metre friction loss into pump (pipe loss), minus the NPSH R curve (say 2.4 metres) of the pre-designed pump = an NPSH A (available) of (negative) -9.4 metres. Adding the atmospheric pressure of 10 metres gives a positive NPSH A of 0.6 metres.

  6. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    where s is the drawdown (change in hydraulic head at a point since the beginning of the test in units of distance), u is a dimensionless parameter, Q is the discharge (pumping) rate of the well (volume per unit time), T and S are the transmissivity and storativity of the aquifer around the well (distance squared per unit time and dimensionless ...

  7. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

    The U.S. government wanted the failed blowout preventer to be replaced in case of any pressure change that occurs when the relief well intersected with the well. [14] On September 3, 2010, at 1:20 p.m. CDT the 300 ton failed blowout preventer was removed from the well and began being slowly lifted to the surface. [ 14 ]

  8. Oilfield scale inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilfield_scale_inhibition

    Uneven pipeline surfaces and production equipment such as pumps and valves cause rapid scale growth to levels that can block pipelines. [4] The scaling-tendency of an oil-well can be predicted based on the prevailing conditions such as pH, temperature, pressure, ionic strength and the mole fraction of CO 2 in the vapor and aqueous phases. [9]

  9. Booster pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_pump

    Small compressed air powered breathing gas booster pump Haskell booster set up for charging rebreather cylinders from premix banks with low pressure compressor. A booster pump is a machine which increases the pressure of a fluid. It may be used with liquids or gases, and the construction details vary depending on the fluid.
