1. an abrasive material composed of small quartz grains formed from the disintegration of pre-existing rocks.
Industry:Oil & gas
the equipment for transporting and using coiled tubing, including a reel for the coiled tubing, an injector head to push the tubing down the well, a wellhead blowout preventer stack, a power source (usually a diesel engine and hydraulic pumps), and a control console. A unique feature of the unit is that it allows continuous circulation while it is being lowered into the hole. A coiled tubing unit is usually mounted on a trailer or skid.
Industry:Oil & gas
any one of several methods by which the loose, unconsolidated grains of a producing formation are made to adhere to prevent a well from producing sand but permit it to produce oil and gas.
Industry:Oil & gas
a workover performed with a continuous steel tube, normally 0.75 inch to 1 inch (1.9 to 2.54 centimeters) outside diameter, which is run into the well in one piece inside the normal tubing. Lengths of the tubing up to 16,000 feet (4,877 meters) are stored on the surface on a reel in a manner similar to that used for wireline. The unit is rigged up over the wellhead. The tubing is injected through a control head that seals off the tubing and makes a pressure-tight connection.
Industry:Oil & gas
any method by which large amounts of sand in a sandy formation are prevented from entering the wellbore. Sand in the wellbore can cause plugging and premature wear of well equipment.
Industry:Oil & gas
1. a coupling device used to join two lengths of pipe, such as casing or tubing. A combination collar has left-hand threads in one end and right-hand threads in the other. 2. a drill collar.
Industry:Oil & gas
method of fracturing subsurface rock formations by injecting fluid and sand under high pressure to increase permeability. Fractures are kept open by the grains of sand.
Industry:Oil & gas
a logging device used to determine accurately the depth of a well; the log measures and records the depth of each casing collar, or coupling, in a well.
Industry:Oil & gas
a wireline used on drilling rigs and well-servicing rigs to operate a swab or bailer, to retrieve cores or to run logging devices. It is usually 9/16 of an inch (14 millimeters) in diameter and several thousand feet or meters long.
