Prior to the Kyoto Protocol, JI referred to voluntary projects between a developed and a developing country that resulted in either greenhouse gas emission reductions or carbon sequestration
A single length (about 30 feet) of drill pipe or of drill collar, casing, or tubing, that has threaded connections at both ends. Several joints screwed together constitute a stand of pip (single, double, thribble and fourble)
Method of pipelaying that utilizes an almost vertical launch ramp, making the pipe configuration resemble a ‘J’. This configuration is suited to deep-water pipe laying
A human made structure built at right angles to a coastline and extending into the water. Jetties include coal jetties, fuel jetties, LNG jetties, etc.
Make a hole through the casing with a shaped charge of high explosives instead of a gun that fires projectiles. The loaded charges are lowered into the hole to the desired depth. Once detonated, the charges emit short, penetrating jets of high-velocity gases that cut holes in the casing and cement and some distance into the formation. Formation fluids then flow into the well bore through these perforations.
The nozzles (usually three in number) in the drill bit through which the drilling mud emerges from the drill string during drilling operations
A fuel used in aircraft. Jet fuel is obtained by distillation and sweetening. The latter removes all trace of mercaptans (very light molecules containing sulfur atoms). Jet fuel is a white product, so-called because it is transparent
A modified drill bit utilizing a hydraulic jet to increase the drilling rate.
