squeeze cementing
The forcing of cement slurry by pressure to specified points in a well to cause seals at the points of squeeze. It is a secondary cementing method that is used to isolate a producing formation, seal off water, repair casing leaks, and so forth.
hydrocarbons
Organic compounds of hydrogen and carbon, whose densities, boiling points, and freezing points increase as their molecular weights increase. Although composed of only two elements. hydrocarbons exist in a variety of compounds because of the strong affinity of the carbon atom for other atoms and for itself. The smallest molecules of hydrocarbons are gaseous; the largest are solids. Petroleum is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons.
points

contour map
A map constructed with continuous lines connecting points of equal value, such as elevation, formation thickness, and rock porosity
galena
Lead sulfide (PbS). Technical grades (specific gravity about 7) are used for increasing the density of drilling fluids to points impractical or impossible with barite.
cementing
The application of a liquid slurry of cement and water to various points inside or outside the casing. See primary cementing, secondary cementing.
zinc chloride
A very soluble salt used to increase the density of water to points more than double that of water. Normally added to a system first saturated with calcium chloride.
field facility
