• Stability meter

  An instrument to measure the amount of voltage needed to break down invert emulsions.

• Directional drilling

  1. Intentional deviation of a wellbore from the vertical. Although wellbores are normally drilled vertically, it is sometimes necessary or advantageous to drill at an ...
