    WST – well seismic tool (checkshot [citation needed]) WSTL – well site test log; WSU – well service unit; wt – wall thickness; WT – well test; WTI – West Texas Intermediate benchmark crude; WTR – water; WUT – water up to; WV – wing valve (from a christmas tree [citation needed]) WVS – well velocity survey; WWS – wire ...

  3. Well test (oil and gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_test_(oil_and_gas)

    Regularly, for example once a month per well, the flow from one and only one selected well is led into the test separator for determining well flow rate for the selected well. [3] The separator divides the flow from the well into the streams of individual products which typically are oil, gas and water, but may include natural-gas condensate ...

  4. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.

  5. Tank leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_leak_detection

    Tank leak detection is implemented to alert the operator to a suspected release from any part of a storage tank system, what enables to prevent from soil contamination and loss of product. In many countries regulated UST are required to have an approved leak detection method so that leaks are discovered quickly and the release is stopped in time.

  6. Magnetic flux leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux_leakage

    An MFL tool is known as an "intelligent" or "smart" inspection pig because it contains electronics and collects data real-time while traveling through the pipeline. Sophisticated electronics on board allow this tool to accurately detect anomalies as small as 1 mm 2, which can include dimensions of a pipeline wall as well as its depth and ...

  7. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

  8. Wellhead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellhead

    When the well has been drilled, it is completed to provide an interface with the reservoir rock and a tubular conduit for the well fluids. The surface pressure control is provided by a Christmas tree, which is installed on top of the wellhead, with isolation valves and choke equipment to control the flow of well fluids during production.

  9. Permanent downhole gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_Downhole_Gauge

    Systems installed in well casing to read formation pressure directly, suspended systems, and systems built in coil (continuous) tubing are also available. The data that PDGs provide are useful to reservoir engineers in determining the quantities of oil or gas contained below the Earth's surface in an oil or gas reservoir and also which method ...
