The speed, or velocity, of fluid or gas flow through a pipe or vessel. Also the reservoir flow rate, which is one of the parameters used in flow testing analysis to determine the quantity of gas available in a natural gas field. Even when favorable geological, geophysical and petrophysical data are available for exploration or …

An operation on a well designed to demonstrate the existence of moveable petroleum in a reservoir by establishing flow to the surface and/or to provide an indication of the potential productivity of that reservoir. Some flow tests, such as drill stem tests (DST) are performed in the open hole. A DST is used to obtain …
Used to remove sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from the gases emitted from the combustion of coal in power stations. The facilities don’t reduce at all the emissions of carbon dioxide or the particulates and only partially reduce the emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. See also wet scrubbers.
Usually defined as oil/water contact or gas/oil contact
Consumes much less electricity and is thus more environmentally friendly
Drilling contracts dollar amounts are usually quoted on a daily rate or a footage rate. Under a daily rate contract the agreed upon dollar amount is paid regardless of the footage drilled. Under a footage rate contract an agreed upon dollar amount is paid based upon each foot drilled, with payment usually contingent upon a …
Force Majeure literally means “greater force”. FM clauses in contracts excuse a party from liability if some unforeseen event beyond the control of that party prevents it from performing its obligations under the contract. In natural gas contracts, Force Majeure can be defined as events beyond the reasonable control of a party acting as a …
Gas initially produced from an underground reservoir
In certain instances in shallower water, it is possible to physically attach a platform to the sea floor. The ‘legs’ are constructed with concrete or steel, extending down from the platform, and fixed to the seafloor with piles. With some concrete structures, the weight of the legs and seafloor platform is so great, that they …
The objective of FLEX LNG is to commercialize the world’s first floating natural gas liquefaction units and to become a leading global player within small and medium scale floating LNG production. Three units have been ordered from Samsung Heavy Industries in Korea for delivery as of 2011 onwards
