Any object or device that blocks a hole or passageway (such as a cement plug in a borehole).
Rocks from the Pliocene era that were formed between 5 and 1.5 million years ago
5 million to 1.8 million years ago. Is the uppermost subdivision of the long Tertiary period which began 64 million years ago; it represents the final stages of a global cooling trend that led up to the Quaternary ice ages. >
1.8 million – 11,000 years ago. As a descriptive term applied to rocks or faults, it marks the period of rock formation or the time of most recent fault slip
Geological characteristics that describe principle properties of and necessary conditions for the occurrence of oil and/or gas accumulations of the minimum size within the defined parameters of a play.
A project associated with a prospective trend of potential prospects, but which requires more data acquisition and/or evaluation in order to define specific leads or prospects.
Project activities are focused on acquiring additional data and/or under undertaking further evaluation designed to define specific leads or prospects for more detailed analysis of their chance of discovery and, assuming discovery, the range of potential recovery under hypothetical development scenarios.
A play is a “type” location where one might find oil and gas (such as a 4 way dip closure or a bump is a play type, a fault block is a play type, a reef high is a play type, nose is a play type). One can find more than one play type near to each other such as in certain permits where there are reef and nose play types.
Mostly jackup rigs
A platform rig is placed on a production platform and is similar to a modular land rig. The production platform’s crane is capable of lifting the modularized rig crane that subsequently sets the rig modules. The assembled rig has all the drilling, housing and support facilities necessary for drilling multiple production wells
