antisqueeze
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The effect on a laterolog whereby the current lines are no longer properly focused but spread out at a certain distance into the formation. The effect occurs opposite a ...
cave effect
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The effect of a sharp change in the borehole diameter, such as that caused by a cave or rugose hole, on an induction log. In smooth boreholes of constant diameter, the effect of ...
flow simulation
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The dynamic simulation of fluids through a reservoir model over time. When the simulation correctly recreates the past reservoir performance, it is said to be "history matched," ...
thickening time
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The duration that a cement slurry remains in a fluid state and is capable of being pumped. Thickening time is assessed under downhole conditions using a pressurized consistometer ...
first reading
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The depth of the first reliable reading of a curve on a log. For the typical bottom-to-top survey, the curve readings before the tool is picked up from the bottom of the hole are ...
