lean gas condensate
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A gas condensate with low condensate formation in the reservoir (when the bottomhole pressure is reduced below the dewpoint pressure).
corrected gamma ray
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A gamma ray log from which the uranium contribution has been subtracted. In some rocks, and in particular in carbonate rocks, the contribution from uranium can be large and ...
neutralizing solution
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A fluid prepared to counteract the corrosive effect of acids or acidic treatment fluids. Neutralizing solutions generally are used when the components to be protected cannot be ...
photoelectric effect
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A gamma ray interaction in which the gamma ray is fully absorbed by a bound electron. If the energy transferred exceeds the binding energy to the atom, the electron will be ...
Compton scattering
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A gamma ray interaction in which the gamma ray collides with an electron, transferring part of its energy to the electron, while itself being scattered at a reduced energy. ...
anisotropic formation
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A formation with directionally dependent properties. The most common directionally dependent properties are permeability and stress. Most formations have vertical to horizontal ...
