A measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow.  Resistance is brought about by the internal friction resulting from the combined effects of cohesion and adhesion.  The viscosity of petroleum products is commonly expressed in terms of the time required for a specific volume of the liquid to flow through a capillary tube of a specific size at a given temperature.

An instrument used for measuring the viscosity and flow properties of fluids

Visualization of seismic surveys have been taken to a new level with the advent of virtual reality rooms, allowing 3D subsurface images to be displayed on large screens and to be viewed from almost any angle. Different development options, such as the impact of various drilling targets, can be simulated. Much of the benefit of this approach stems from the fact that communication and understanding are greatly enhanced when multi-discipline teams meet whilst “immersed” in such an environment.

As per the Israeli Gas Law, pressure of 4 bar or less.

Very low pressure are those sections of the distribution network that will work under maximum pressure of 75 to 150 millibar (bar – 1,000 millibar). These sections are expected to supply natural gas to certain suppliers or regions where it is not possible to lay polyethylene pipes (PE Mains) at a pressure of 4 to 7 bar.

These sections will receive gas from the low pressure network via DPRS (Direct Pressure Reduction Stations)
