  2. Reservoir simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_simulation

    Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. The creation of models of oil fields and the implementation of calculations of field development on their basis is one of the main areas of activity of engineers and oil ...

    POP – possible oil production; POP – place on production; POR – density porosity log; PORRT – pack off run retrieval tool; POSFR – post-fracture report; POSTW – post-well appraisal report; POSWE – post-well summary report; PP – DXC pressure plot log [clarification needed] PP – pump pressure; PPA – Pounds of Proppant added

  4. Petroleum production engineering - Wikipedia

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

    Petroleum production engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. 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 ...

  5. Electronic lab notebook - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_lab_notebook

    An electronic lab notebook (also known as electronic laboratory notebook, or ELN) is a computer program designed to replace paper laboratory notebooks. Lab notebooks in general are used by scientists , engineers , and technicians to document research , experiments , and procedures performed in a laboratory.

  6. Crude oil assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crude_oil_assay

    The results of crude oil assay testing provide extensive detailed hydrocarbon analysis data for refiners, oil traders and producers. Assay data help refineries determine if a crude oil feedstock is compatible for a particular petroleum refinery or if the crude oil could cause yield, quality, production, environmental and other problems. [1]

  7. Oil and gas reserves and resource quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_and_gas_reserves_and...

    The decline curve method is an extrapolation of known production data to fit a decline curve and estimate future oil & gas production. The three most common forms of decline curves are exponential, hyperbolic, and harmonic. It is assumed that the production will decline on a reasonably smooth curve, and so allowances must be made for wells shut ...

  8. Laboratory information management system - Wikipedia

    The LIMS then tracks chain of custody as well as sample location. Location tracking usually involves assigning the sample to a particular freezer location, often down to the granular level of shelf, rack, box, row, and column. Other event tracking such as freeze and thaw cycles that a sample undergoes in the laboratory may be required.

  9. Special core analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_core_analysis

    In the petroleum industry, special core analysis, often abbreviated SCAL or SPCAN, is a laboratory procedure [1] for conducting flow experiments on core plugs taken from a petroleum reservoir.
