In property law, an easement to use another’s land for passage. The land and legal right to use and service the land along which a transmission line is located. For the OCS, a right-of-way is most commonly used for pipelines that cross lands that the operator does not control entirely by lease.
A representation of a reservoir that incorporates all data pertinent to its ability to store and produce oil and gas. Geoscientists and engineers use reservoir modeling to simulate the movement of the oil and gas under various circumstances to ultimately determine optimal production techniques for the reservoir. The ultimate aim of reservoir modeling is to provide a forecast of reservoir behavior under production conditions. A reservoir model is a mathematical simulation which predicts the production performance of the field and is used to formulate an optimum development plan. One needs to remember this is a model or an estimate, not reality.
Uneven and steep seabed conditions may require the use of rock to support and stabilize the seafloor for pipeline construction. Pipelines can also sometimes be protected (such as from ships’ anchors) through mattressing and spot rock dumping. >
One of the two main markets for oil products. The Rotterdam market is a wholesale market in which the oil companies trade products between themselves
Reworking means an operation conducted in the well bore of a well after it is completed to secure, restore, or improve production in a zone which is currently open to production in the well bore. Such operations include well stimulation operations, but exclude any routine repair or maintenance work, or drilling, sidetracking, deepening, completing, recompleting, or plugging back of a well
Pressure of the fluids in a porous sub-surface reservoir horizon
A pipe between a seabed BOP and a floating drilling rig.
The section of pipework that joins a seabed wellhead to the Christmas tree. A pipe or assembly of pipes used to transfer produced fluids from the seabed to the surface facilities or to transfer injection fluids, control fluids, or lift gas from the surface facilities and the seabed.
Risers can be either rigid or flexible and are critical components of subsea installations.
A riser is the segment of pipe which connects vertically the facilities above the water to the subsea pipeline.
After works have been carried out on a land (such as after the laying of a pipeline) it is incumbent upon the permit holder to restore the land and everything thereon to the condition prevailing prior to the commencement of such operations, in so far as feasible
Drill crew members who work on the derrick floor, screwing together the sections of drillpipe when running or pulling a drillstring.
