An oil formed through distillation of petroleum of intermediate boiling range and viscosity. Term used in Europe to define No. 2 heating oil and diesel fuel. Used also in the generation of electricity during peak hours of demand

Onshore and offshore production facilities have oil, gas, and water well sites, piping, and gas oil separation plants/production platform (GOSP) sites. The plant process and utility facilities, as well as the operator controls and displays, are at the GOSP.

Natural gas as it comes out of the ground is odorless and thus an order is added to it before it is supplied to consumers for safety reasons

Term used for the possible routes or movement of pressurized gas along a preferential path. The movement of hydrocarbons from their source into reservoir rocks. Primary migration is the movement of newly generated hydrocarbons out of their source rock. The further movement of the hydrocarbons into reservoir rock in a hydrocarbon trap or other area of accumulation is secondary migration. Migration typically occurs from a structurally low area to a higher area because of the relative buoyancy of hydrocarbons in comparison to the surrounding rock. Migration can be local or can occur along distances of hundreds of kilometers in large sedimentary basins, and is critical to the formation of a viable petroleum system

A semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. GMAW was first used for welding aluminum and other non-ferrous materials but became prevalent in steel due to its shorter welding time compared to alternative processes and is now the most common industrial welding process.

An independent corporation that buys natural gas from many producers, re-sells it to buyers, and obtains the necessary pipeline transportation capacity and removal/export permits and licenses. Marketers usually sell to buyers that individually require large amounts of natural gas, such as local distribution companies and large industrial customers. In principle the משווק is a shipper in so far as his obligations regarding the Transportation Agreement with INGL and with the distribution licensees are concerned, whilst vis-à-vis the consumers he is a marketer, since he is the entity that purchases the gas from the gas supplier and markets/sells it to those consumers that cannot operate alone vis-à-vis the supplier
