Method of pipelaying that utilizes the elastic properties afforded by steel, making the pipe configuration resemble an ‘S’, with one end on the seabed and the other under tension onboard the ship. This configuration is suited to medium to shallow-water laying.
Oil flow that does not completely fill a pipeline
A factor calculated to determine the production efficiency of a well by comparing actual conditions with ideal conditions. A positive skin value indicates some impairment of well productivity. A negative skin value indicates enhanced productivity, typically resulting from stimulation
Method of moving a drilling rig on skids or rollers which are positioned under the derrick. It mostly refers to the process of sliding the rig off from the wellbore or moving it from one well slot to another on a fixed offshore platform. A skid is usually a steel frame on which portable equipment is mounted to facilitate handling with cranes or flatbed trucks.
