In computational geometry and computer science, the minimum-weight triangulation problem is the problem of finding a triangulation of minimal total edge length. [1] That is, an input polygon or the convex hull of an input point set must be subdivided into triangles that meet edge-to-edge and vertex-to-vertex, in such a way as to minimize the ...
Tracers are used in the oil industry in order to qualitatively or quantitatively gauge how fluid flows through the reservoir, [1] as well as being a useful tool for estimating residual oil saturation. Tracers can be used in either interwell tests or single well tests. [2]
Drill stem testing is an oil and gas exploration procedure to isolate, stimulate and flow a downhole formation to determine the fluids present and the rate at which they can be produced. The main objective of a DST is to evaluate the commercial viability of a zone's economic potential by identifying productive capacity, pressure, permeability ...
WOC – water/oil contact (or oil/water contact) WOE – well operations engineer (a key person of well services [citation needed]) WOM – wait/waiting on material; WOR – water-oil ratio; WORKO – workover; WOS – west of Shetland, oil province on the UKCS; WOW – wait/waiting on weather; WP – well proposal or working pressure
For example, if the tool fails at 1,500 ft (460 m) while drilling with a triple rig (able to trip 3 joints of pipe, or about 90 ft (30 m) feet, at a time), then it would generally be faster to pull the tool out of the hole than it would be to rig up wireline and retrieve the tool, especially if the wireline unit must be transported to the rig.
Hydro means water, or fluid, that exerts pressure and static means not moving or at rest. Therefore, hydrostatic pressure is the total fluid pressure created by the weight of a column of fluid, acting on any given point in a well. In oil and gas operations, it is represented mathematically as
The transformer oil is filled in the vessel of the testing device. Two standard-compliant test electrodes with a typical clearance of 2.5 mm are surrounded by the dielectric oil. A test voltage is applied to the electrodes and is continuously increased up to the breakdown voltage with a constant, standard-compliant slew rate of e.g. 2 kV/s.
The minimum weight is a concept used in various branches of mathematics and computer science related to measurement. Minimum Hamming weight, a concept in coding theory; Minimum weight spanning tree; Minimum-weight triangulation, a topic in computational geometry and computer science
