George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
A condition or object that has the potential to cause harm risk is the probability of an event happening times the impact of its occurrence on operations. (Impact is the effect on conditions or people if the hazard is realized (occurs) in practice and potential is the likelihood that the impact will occur.)
Industry:Oil & gas
A condition where the liquid is over saturated with incompatible ions or one ion concentration is above the saturation point. Usually a result of cooling a undersaturated fluid below the saturation point without a sufficient upset to start the precipitation growth.
Industry:Oil & gas
A conditional ratio requirement on a filtering system that compares the number of particles of a certain size in the unfiltered and filtered fluid. A beta rating of 1000 at 5 microns means that there is one particle of 5 micron or greater size in the filtered fluid for every 1000 particles of 5 micron or greater size in the unfiltered fluid.
Industry:Oil & gas
A conditional surface pressure barrier often consisting of a set of hydraulically operated rams containing equipment designed to grip pipe, seal around pipe, shear off pipe or seal an open hole during drilling or a workover. It may also contain an annular preventer.
Industry:Oil & gas
A cone shaped device for separating fluids and the solids dispersed in fluids.
Industry:Oil & gas
A conical shaped reef-type deposit, usually with good permeability and pososity.
Industry:Oil & gas
A connector with shallow holes into the body and threads on the other for attaching a BHA to coiled tubing. The end with shallow holes is slipped into the coiled tubing and a clamp-on device with set screws is used to deform the coiled tubing wall into the dimple.
Industry:Oil & gas
A consideration in fluid friction calculations. A pipe with a polished surface may have 1/10th the friction and flow 10 to 25% more fluid at the same pressure drop (depending on pipe diameter), than a pipe with a corroded or heavily fouled surface.
Industry:Oil & gas
A constant heat loss/gain applied to a calculation and a temperature or pressure can be adjusted to meet this new heat content (around fluid equilibrium considerations).
