Injection of a large volume of gas from an injection well where the gas is designed to lower the viscosity of the oil and help displace it towards the wellbore.

The person who measures a tank to determine the volume it holds at 1/4″ intervals of height.

The insoluble abrasive solids content of a drilling fluid rejected by a 200-mesh screen. usually expressed as the percentage bulk volume of sand in a drilling fluid. this test is an elementary type in that the retained solids are not necessarily silica and may not be altogether abrasive. for additional information concerning the kids of [...]

The process whereby a volume of fluid equal to the volume of steel in tubular and tools withdrawn from the wellbore is returned to the wellbore.

To displace the wellbore fluid back to the surface; to displace tubing volume back to the pit.

A device that reduces the pressure or volume of a fluid flowing in a line and maintains the pressure or volume at a specified level.

1. the ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of a standard substance at the same temperature. for example, if 1 cubic inch of water at 39 degrees f weighs 1 unit and 1 cubic inch of another solid or [...]

An examination of reservoir fluid in a laboratory under various pressures, volumes, and temperatures to determine the characteristics and behavior of the fluid.

A mechanical fluid-measuring device that measures by filling and emptying chambers of a specific volume. the displacement of a fixed volume of fluid may be accomplished by the action of reciprocating or oscillating pistons, rotating vanes or buckets, rotating disks, or tanks or other vessels that automatically fill and empty. also called a volume meter [...]

The maximum volume of oil or gas that a well is capable of producing, calculated from well test data.

The percentage that the volume of the pore space bears to the total bulk volume. the pore space determines the amount of space available for storage of fluids.

One of a series of devices that continuously monitor the level of the drilling mud in the mud tanks. the indicator usually consists of float devices in the mud tanks that sense the mud level and transmit data to a recording and alarm device (a pit-volume recorder) mounted near the driller’s position on the rig [...]

The amount of fluid placed in a well to serve as a pad, which is a special fluid used for any special purpose.

The amount of oil in volume-percent in a drilling fluid.

In commercial transactions, a product meeting gpa specification for commercial butane and, in addition, containing a minimum of 95 liquid volume percent normal butane. chemically, normal butane is an aliphatic compound of the paraffin series.
