George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
A classification of materials that predicts satisfactory performance in hydrogen sulfide.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clathrate type molecule (cage) of gas and water that forms in a certain range of temperature and pressure in wells. In flow lines, hydrates are a problem in deep-water sub sea wellheads and flow lines, but also seen in some nearly dry, onshore gas wells. In-situ hydrates are a potential natural gas resource.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clay or other mineral that was formed within the pore spaces of the rock. The material is most often formed by reaction or precipitation from connate fluids.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clay that exhibits water swelling and fines dissociation problems when it occurs in authogenic form and is reactive with the flowing fluid. Smectite clays such as bentonite generate viscosity by forming a colloid suspension in water.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clay type marked by high iron content. Usually not water sensitive and only slowly acid soluble. Very occasionally existing as fragile, free standing rims following sand grain dissolution over geologic time.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clay type marked by platelet like deposits in the authogenic form. Usually not water sensitive but may have occasional loose attachment to the host grain.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clay type of varying form and composition. Rarely water sensitive. May occur in unusual cases as a fiberous deposit that can act as a particle trap.
Industry:Oil & gas
A clayiness index determined from the difference between the radioactivity level of the zone of interest and that of clean rock compared to the difference between the radioactivity level in clay shale and that in the clean rock.
