in drilling operations, the mud density is 10 ppg at 100 ft
27 of depth. Calculate mud hydrostatic pressure
This is one of the most recognizable pieces of well
equipment and consists of control valves, pressure
28 gauges, and chokes located at the top of a well to
control the flow of oil and gas. What is the name of this
apparatus?
29 if mobility ratio <1, how is the condition of fluid flow?
30 decreasing interfacial tension is the main purpose of

The process of removing water from water-base drilling
mud. This process can involve chemical treatment for

mechanical separation, such as centrifugation, or
mechanical treatments alone. What is this process?

The American Institute of Mining's Metallurgical

Petroleum Branch Executive Committee determined
the best way to meet this group's needs was to develop
a "publication so dominantly petroleum as to
32 secure wide reader interest," In January of
1940, they succeeded with the first publication of what
journal that is now sent to every SPE
member?

An operator is producing from a gas reservoir.

Suspicious of unusually high pressure losses, he
33 discovers that liquid is dropping out in the tubing,
though he observes only gas at the wellhead.
What type of petroleum fluid is this well producing?
 Oil that does not move when fluids are flowed through
the rock in normal conditions, for example primary and
34 secondary recovery, and invasion. What is this oil called
as?
it's a residue deposited on a permeable medium when a
35 slurry, such as a drilling fluid, is forced against the
medium under a pressure. What is it?
This small pieces of rock is screened out of the liquid
mud system at the shale shakers and are monitored for
36 composition, size, shape, color, hydrocarbon content
and other properties. What is it?
it's a Large-diameter pipe lowered into an openhole and
cemented in place. The well designer must design it to
37 withstand a variety of forces, such as collapse, burst,
and tensile failure, as well as chemically aggressive
brines. What is it refer to?
Sometimes, WOC can be tilted. Usually it's occur in
38 shallow reservoir. What is this condition called?

39 What is this tools called?

Three-dimensional (3D) seismic data acquired at

40 different times over the same area to assess changes in
a producing hydrocarbon reservoir with time. Is the
definition of?
41 Who is the 2013 SPE's president?
When drawdown pressure is too high exceed some
42 parameter, water coning will occurred. What is this
parameter?
43 Water trapped in the pores of a rock during formation
of the rock. Is the definition of ?
44 The study ofevents
rocks to determine the order and timing of
in Earth history is called
45 Mention 2 way, how can we get porosity of the rock?
A point when liquid firstly appear in a gas system if
46 compressed is called?
47 Mention 3 advantages of using water as EOR method!

48 What type is this unconformity?

49 Mention 2 types of continental margin!

Mention 2 important parameters which is related on
50 thermal maturity of organic matters!
What is the name of IPR Equation which is available
51 since 1968, for 2-phase oil reservoirs, zero skin, and zero
water-cut?
52 What is the terminology of drilling mud which has diesel
oil as the continuous phase?
If the area of the reservoir is 500 acres, the reservoir
thickness is 30 ft, the porosity is 25%, initial water
54 saturation is 30% and the oil formation volume factor is
1.2 RB/STB, calculate the IOIP!
