phase-shift resistivity
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The ability of the formation to resist electrical conduction, as derived from the change in position of the peaks of an electromagnetic wave generated in a propagation resistivity ...
sampling interval
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The depth or time between successive measurements by a sensor. For measurements-while-drilling (MWD) logs, the sampling interval is most commonly a time. For wireline ...
pressure depletion
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The drop in average reservoir pressure from fluid production. All bounded reservoirs have pressure depletion (a drop in average reservoir pressure) associated with fluid ...
filtrate slump
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The downward vertical movement of filtrate with time after invasion. In hydrocarbon zones, the filtrate is heavier than the formation fluid. Therefore, in a vertical well, gravity ...
bottomhole injection pressure (bhip)
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The downhole pressure at which a treatment fluid can be injected into a zone of interest. The bottomhole injection pressure is typically calculated by adding the hydrostatic ...
logging tool
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The downhole hardware needed to make a log. The term is often shortened to simply "tool. " Measurements-while-drilling (MWD) logging tools, in some cases known as logging while ...
coiled tubing connector
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The downhole device used to connect the tool string to the coiled tubing string. Several types of devices with varying principles of operation are commonly used. The primary ...
