bottle test
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A procedure in which different chemicals are added to bottle samples of an emulsion to determine which chemical is the most effective at breaking, or separating, the emulsion into ...
profile testing
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A procedure that involves sampling gas and liquid at different points across the diameter of pipe to evaluate the degree of stratification at a specific location.
sequential Gaussian simulation
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A procedure for estimating the reservoir characteristics between data points. Based on the idea of iterating from a first guess and refining through reduction of errors, the ...
