The decomposition or breaking down of oil or hydrocarbons through the action of a catalyst and heat.
Industry:Energy
The rate charged a distribution company by its supplier(s). It refers to the cost of the gas at the point at which the distribution utility takes title to the gas.

When a subsidiary company has a parent company that provides consolidated financing and other services that affect the subsidiary's capital structure, the subsidiary typically must prepare a hypothetical capital structure for use in a rate case filing.
Industry:Energy
A chemical agent which slows or reduces chemical action. Inhibitors are used principally in liquid coolants to reduce corrosion of metal parts of the system and in well drilling fluids to reduce corrosion of metals in piping of equipment used in well drilling operations.
Industry:Energy
A heating unit which transfers heat by radiation to objects within visible range and by conduction to the surrounding air which, in turn, is circulated by natural convection; a so-called radiator is also a convector, but the term radiator has been established by long usage.
Industry:Energy
A refrigerating system in which the cooling effect results from expansion of a refrigerant after mechanical compression by either centrifugal or reciprocating compressors.
Industry:Energy
Gas produced in association with oil, or from a gas cap overlying and in contact with the crude oil in the reservoir. In general, most states restrict associated gas production since its indiscriminate production could reduce the ultimate oil recovery. Also, since some wells producing associated gas cannot be shut-in without also shutting-in the oil production, natural gas pipelines are generally required to take allowed associated gas produced from oil wells on a priority basis. See also GAS CAP.
