The ratio of the volume of liquid produced to the volume of gas produced, or the amount of oil dissolved in gas which condenses at surface. Sometimes one can identify reservoir hydrocarbon types (gas, oil, residual oil) using simple ratios of the light gases measured by a gas chromatograph in the mudlogging unit
Sediments that have been compacted to the degree that they become into a relatively solid rock. Typical consequences of consolidation include an increase in density and acoustic velocity and a decrease in porosity
CNG is natural gas under pressure which consists primarily of methane (85-95%), with trailing amounts of ethane, propane, and butanes used as an alternative cleaner fuel for vehicles. CNG cars are abundant in Argentine, Brazil, India, Pakistan, Italy, Iran and the US.
The depth in a drilling well at which the drilling contractor receives a lump-sum payment for reaching a particular milestone. The contract depth is specified in a legal agreement between the operator, who pays for the well, and the drilling contractor, who owns and operates the drilling rig. Contract depth may be the final or total depth (TD) of the well, an intermediate point in the well or another milestone, such as running well-logging tools to the bottom of the hole.
When a substance changes its form from gas to liquid
Use of LNG storage capacity to save on pipeline investment
To ensure that the natural gas flowing through any one pipeline remains pressurized, compression of this natural gas is required periodically along the pipe. This is accomplished by compressor stations, usually placed at 40 to 100 mile intervals along the pipeline. Any permanent combination of facilities which supplies the energy to move gas at increased pressure from fields, in transmission lines, or into storage. >
The total length of a term of a supply contract between a buyer of gas and seller.
A compression process that reorients and reshapes the grains of a sediment in response to the weight of overlying deposits
