One of several dependent barrier elements, which are designed to prevent unintentional flow of a formation fluid. A barrier is an envelope preventing hydrocarbons from flowing unintentionally from the formation, into another formation or, to surface. Barrier elements that make up the Primary barrier are those elements, which are or might be in direct contact with well pressure during normal operation. These elements provide the initial and inner envelope preventing unintentional flow of reservoir fluid to surface, or another zone. Barrier elements that make up the secondary barrier are those, which are or might be exposed to contact with well pressure should any of the elements described as a Primary barrier fail. These elements provide an envelope outside the Primary barrier envelope providing a second barrier preventing unintentional flow of reservoir fluid to surface, or another zone.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several forms of an element, all having the same number of protons but differing in the number of neutrons.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several low damage, low toxicity, normally high cost brine for special applications. May be one of several formation compounds.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several materials that reduce the stability of the bubble skin in a foam and cause the foam to break.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several methods involving injecting a chemical into a formation to improve the production of hydrocarbon. May be from an injection well to a production well or injection into a producer with a soak period before recovery.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several methods that provide pressure assistance to increase flow from a well. The most common systems lighten (decrease density) of the flowing fluid (gas lift), or remove all or part of the liquid head from the reservoir (beam and electric submersible pumps).
Industry:Oil & gas
One of several mineral precipitates that crystallize out of waters at or above the saturation of the ions.
