George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
A corrosion state where a metal is corroding without control by a reaction product (or corrosion product layer).
Industry:Oil & gas
A corrosion, abrasion or erosion measure of penetration through the walls of the measured material. MPY reports the material loss as an average across a surface and does not accurately reflect penetration by localized pitting.
Industry:Oil & gas
A count of pump strokes times pump volume times plunger # times pump efficiency estimates volume pumped.
Industry:Oil & gas
A crack in steel resulting from stresses produced during transformation from austentite to martensite.
Industry:Oil & gas
A crescent-shaped body of generally isolated water, cut off from a meandering stream as the stream changed its course.
Industry:Oil & gas
A crescent-shaped sand dune with a convex face upwind and a concave face downwind.
Industry:Oil & gas
A crushing of the matrix structure as overburden loads press down on the rock, reducing the pore space. During production of the well, the load on the matrix increases as the pore-filling fluids are removed. These loads may reduce the porosity of the rock expelling fluids from the rocks (compaction recovery of fluids). Permeability may be decreased in compaction, first by closing natural (unpropped fractures) and then by reduction of matrix perm in severe cases.
