Geological feature caused mostly from tensional forces. Back-arc basins were not predicted by plate tectonics theory, but they are consistent with the dominant model for how the earth loses heat. >
Use the same drilling vessel to carry out another drilling and thus save on mob/demob costs
The pressure resulting from restriction of full natural flow of oil or gas. Pressure against which a fluid is flowing. May be composed of friction in pipes, restrictions in pipes, valves, pressure in vessels to which fluid is flowing, hydrostatic head, or other resistance to fluid flow.
Fluid flow in the borehole from one zone into another in response to pressure differences between the zones. Any time the wellbore pressure rises above the average pressure in any zone, backflow will occur. The term is often mistakenly called cross flow
The angular distance between true south and the point on the horizon directly below the sun. Typically used as an input for opaque surfaces and windows in computer programs for calculating the energy performance of buildings

Such as when a country does a round to award rounds to enhance exploration activities in mature areas, where expectations are smaller discoveries that cannot justify an independent development and where it is therefore good resource management to discover and develop these resources before existing infrastructure in connection to other fields are shut down
The amount of money that an electric utility would need to spend for the next increment of electric generation to produce or purchase elsewhere the power that it instead buys from a cogenerator or small-power producer. Regulators (including the PUA-Electricity in Israel) establish broad guidelines for determining how much a licensed facility gets paid for power sold to the utility.
