  2. Gas lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lift

    The gas-lift mandrel is a device installed in the tubing string of a gas-lift well onto which or into which a gas-lift valve is fitted. There are two common types of mandrels. In a conventional gas-lift mandrel, a gas-lift valve is installed as the tubing is placed in the well. Thus, to replace or repair the valve, the tubing string must be pulled.

    An airlift pump, powered by compressed air, raises fluid by entraining gas to reduce its density. 1. air supply 2. liquid supply 3. air inlet port

  4. Petroleum production engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_production...

    Petroleum production engineers design and select subsurface equipment to produce oil and gas well fluids. [1] They often are degreed as petroleum engineers, although they may come from other technical disciplines (e.g., mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, physicist) and subsequently be trained by an oil and gas company.

  5. Production packer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_packer

    A production packer [1] is a standard component of the completion hardware of oil or gas wells used to provide a seal between the outside of the production tubing and the inside of the casing, liner, or wellbore wall. Based on their primary use, packers can be divided into two main categories: production packers and service packers.

  6. Artificial lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_lift

    Artificial lift is the use of artificial means to increase the flow of liquids, such as crude oil or water, from a production well. Generally this is achieved by the use of a mechanical device inside the well (known as pump or velocity string) or by decreasing the weight of the hydrostatic column by injecting gas into the liquid some distance down the well.

  7. Maximum allowable operating pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_allowable...

    Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) is a pressure limit set, usually by a government body, which applies to compressed gas pressure vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks. For pipelines, this value is derived from Barlow's Formula , which takes into account wall thickness, diameter, allowable stress (which is a function of the material ...

  8. Net positive suction head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_positive_suction_head

    Careful design is required to pump high temperature liquids with a centrifugal pump when the liquid is near its boiling point. The violent collapse of the cavitation bubble creates a shock wave that can carve material from internal pump components (usually the leading edge of the impeller) and creates noise often described as "pumping gravel".

  9. Wash bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wash_bottle

    A wash bottle is a squeeze bottle with a nozzle, used to rinse various pieces of laboratory glassware, such as test tubes and round bottom flasks. Wash bottles are sealed with a screw-top lid. When hand pressure is applied to the bottle, the liquid inside becomes pressurized and is forced out of the nozzle into a narrow stream of liquid.
