Emissions and discharges
Although the distinction is not scientifically based, typically emissions refers to the gas phase releases (to the atmosphere) and discharges to liquid phase releases to the environment (usually water).
Headspace analysis; Head space analysis of VOC
Head space analysis is basically a technique where the vapors in the gas above, and in equilibrium with a solid or liquid is sampled, as opposed to sampling, solely, the solid or the liquid themselves. The advantage of this approach is that gas chromatography can be used as the analytical technique, as opposed to liquid …

Capacity Release Program
Participation in the program allows shippers (Releasing Shippers) to release all or part of their firm transportation capacity to another party (Replacement Shipper) under specified terms and conditions
Project Maturity Sub-Class
Project Maturity Sub-Class of a development on hold project is defined as resources in a proven field (namely, a field that has been drilled and in which a discovery has been made according to the rules of PRMS), but for which the activities have been put on hold and/or for which the economic justification to …
Japan Crude Cocktail
The Japan Crude Cocktail price, or the average price for customs-cleared crude oil imports which is used as the benchmark for LNG prices for Japanese buyers. Price of gas in Japan is not exactly linked to the price of Brent but rather to the JCC namely the Japan Crude Cocktail which is an average of …
Oean Bottom Cable
Typically an assembly of vertically oriented geophones and hydrophones connected by electrical wires and deployed on the seafloor to record and relay data to a seismic recording vessel. Such systems were originally introduced to enable surveying in areas of obstructions (such as production platforms) or shallow water inaccessible to ships towing seismic streamers. Recent developments …
Tamar to Mari pipeline
October 2011 – The work on the pipeline from Tamar to Israel has started with the Allseas. This is a 150 km double line in which 12 bcm of natural gas can be transmitted. The gas will reach the production platform that will be constructed adjacent to the existing Mari-B platform. The platform is being …
Reaming
This is the action of enlarging a whole for drilling or for pipeline. One starts often with a small pilot whole which is easier and cheaper to do and makes it easier to ensure that the whole is directed properly. Then if a greater hole is needed, either in drilling operations because something went amiss …
Relative humidity
The ratio of the amount of water vapor that the air contains to the maximum amount of water vapor that it could hold at the ambient temperature and pressure. Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage. When relative humidity is 50%, the air contains one half as much water vapor as it could potentially hold.
Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion
This is a type of explosion that can occur when a vessel containing a pressurized liquid is ruptured. Such explosions can be extremely hazardous. A BLEVE can occur in a vessel that stores a substance that is usually a gas at atmospheric pressure but is a liquid when pressurized (for example, liquefied petroleum gas). The …
