2. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

   A simple control system for a water well. Referring to the figure on the left, a submersible water pump is installed in a well. The pressure switch turns the water pump on when it senses a pressure that is less than P lo and turns it off when it senses a pressure greater than P hi. While the pump is on, the pressure tank fills up.

3. Artesian well - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artesian_well

   An artesian well is a well that brings groundwater to the surface without pumping because it is under pressure within a body of rock or sediment known as an aquifer. [1] When trapped water in an aquifer is surrounded by layers of impermeable rock or clay, which apply positive pressure to the water, it is known as an artesian aquifer . [ 1 ]

4. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

   The term separator in oilfield terminology designates a pressure vessel used for separating well fluids produced from oil and gas wells into gaseous and liquid components. A separator for petroleum production is a large vessel designed to separate production fluids into their constituent components of oil , gas and water .

5. 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 ...

6. Wellhead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellhead

   The primary purpose of a wellhead is to provide the suspension point and pressure seals for the casing strings that run from the bottom of the hole sections to the surface pressure control equipment. [1] While drilling the oil well, surface pressure control is provided by a blowout preventer (BOP).

7. 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.
