A mechanical device that permits fluid to flow or pressure to act in one

direction only. It is used in a variety of oil and gas industry applications as
1 control or safety devices. Its designs are tailored to specific fluid types and
operating conditions. Some designs are less tolerant of debris, while others
may obstruct the bore of the conduit or tubing in which the valve is fitted.
A type of check valve, typically installed in the tubing hanger, to isolate the
production tubing. This valve is designed to hold pressure from below yet

enable fluids to be pumped from above, as may be required for well-control
purposes.
What called the predominant flow geometry reflected in a pressure-transient
3 response that is most easily recognized in the log-log presentation of the
pressure-change derivative?
It is a mojor branch of enhanced oil recovery processes. It maintains
reservoir pressure and improves oil displacement because the interfacial
4
tenstion between oil and water is reduced. The effect is similar to that of a
solution gas drive. What is it?

A phenomenon characterized by formation fluids being pulled or swabbed

into the wellbore when the drill stem and bit are pulled up the wellbore fast
5
enough to reduce the hydrostatic pressure of the mud below the bit. If
enough formation fluid is swabbed into the hole, a kick can result

10
mud engineers and reservoir engineers?
11 What is a control valve that is actuated by air?
The flow pattern of fluids flowing into a wellbore from the surrounding
12
drainage area is
 The variations in rock properties in a reservoir. The variations can result in
directional variations in permeability. Geological processes, such as
13
sedimentation, diagenesis and erosion, act to produce nonuniformities in
rock formations. What is it?

line compare deadline is..

In subsurface pump, this is the device that closes the barrel chamber
18
allowing the trapped fluid to be lifred in the upstroke of the pump. What is it?

A type of positive displacement oup that transfers fluid by means of the

progress, through the pump, of a sequence of small, fixed shape, discrete
19
cavities, as its rotor is turned. This type of artificial lift is used in a well which
has relatively low production rate. what is the name of this artificial lift?

A process for killing well, where gas is forced back into a formation by
20
pumping into the annulus from the surface. What is the process?

21
1904 at the Larderello, Italy dry steam field?
22 Name two types of resistivity log?
Typical clay (bentonite) is dispersed in drillwater/tap water. But there is
23 another type of clay that can dispersed in seawater (saltwater). What is the
name of this clay?
The topmost valve on a Christmas tree that provides vertical access to the
24
wellbore. Also known as
A relatively high-standing area formed by the movement of normal faults that
dip away from each other. It occurs between low-standing fault blocks. It can
25
form in areas of rifting or extension, where normal faults are the most
abundant variety of fault.

A relatively low-standing fault block bounded by opposing normal faults. It

26 can form in areas of rifting or extension, where normal faults are the most
common type of fault. It occur between high-standing fault blocks.
 A type of fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall,
27 and the fault surface dips steeply, commonly from 50 to 90 degree. What is
it?
A type of minor fault whose sense of displacement is similar to its associated
28
major fault.
A minor, secondary fault, usually one of a set, whose sense of displacement
29
is opposite to its associated major and synthetic faults.
A type of fault whose surface is typically vertical or nearly so. The motion
30 along this fault is parallel to the strike of the fault surface, and the fault
blocks move sideways past each other.
A strike-slip fault in which the block across the fault moves to the right is
31
described as
A strike-slip fault in which the block across the fault moves to the left is
32
described as
A particular type of strike-slip fault that is a boundary of an oceanic tectonic
plate. The actual movement of this fault is opposite to its apparent
33
displacement because of the interplay of spreading and faulting between
tectonic plates.

The threaded collar used to connect two joints of casing. The resulting
connection must provide adequate mechanical strength to enable the casing
34 string to be run and cemented in place. It must also provide sufficient
hydraulic isolation under the design conditions determined by internal and
external pressure conditions and fluid characteristics.

35
pressure surges in the output line of a mud pump
What is drilling operation which only bit that rotate because of mud flow through
36
spiral pipe?

This kind of device is commonly called a three-phase separator because it can

37 separate gas, oil and free water. This liquds that are discharged from it are
further treated in vessels called treaters. What is this kind of device called?

A dug-out area, possibly lined with wood, cement or very large diameter (6 ft [1.8
m]) thin-wall pipe, located below the rig. It serves as a cavity in which the casing
38

valve of the Christmas tree are easy to reach from ground level.

A long, rectangular platform about 3 ft [0.9 m] high, usually made of steel and
located perpendicular to the vee-door at the bottom of the slide. This platform is
39 used as a staging area for rig and drillstring tools, components that are about to
be picked up and run, or components that have been run and are being laid
down.
 The upside down V-shaped opening in one side of the derrick that enables long

with the slide and catwalk of the rig.

An opening in the rig floor near the rotary table, but between the rotary table and
41 the vee-door, that enables rapid connections while drilling. It is usually fitted
underneath with a length of casing, usually with a bottom.

A well drilled in the vicinity of other wells to assess the extent and characteristics
42 of the reservoir and, in some cases, to drain hydrocarbons from an adjoining
lease or tract

A movable, reusable structure, such as a converted jack-up drilling rig, from

which offshore wells are produced. The main advantage over a conventional
43

At constant temperature and composition, the lowest pressure at which first- or

multiple-contact miscibility (dynamic miscibility) can be achieved. At this

An extra-thick inside wall on the end of tubing or drillpipe at the point where it is
45
threaded to compensate for the metal removed in threading is called

A lifting device, similar in function to a crane jib, that is used in a number of

oilfield applications, such as for handling tubulars on a snubbing unit, tool strings
46
on a slickline unit or on a winch truck, and for general lifting at the wellsite. What
is it?

A bottomhole assembly usually made up of drill collars and a stabiliser just

47 above the bit, that can be used to increase hole angle. In hole inclined 3 degrees
or more off vertical. What is it?

The internal energy of a subtance that is attributed to the internal motion of the
48 molecules. This energy is within the molecules and cannot be utilized for
external work. What is it?

The adapter between the first casing string and either the BOP stack (during
drilling) or the wellhead (after completion). This adapter may be threaded or
49
welded onto the casing, and may have a flanged or clamped connection to
match the BOP stack or wellhead.

Igneous or metamorphic rock, which seldom contains petroleum. Ordinarily, it
