adjusted flow time
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The approximated flow time used for a well-test analysis when the flow rate varies before or during the test period. It is calculated as t = cumulative well production since ...
direct hydrocarbon typing
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging to the determination of hydrocarbon type (gas, light oil, medium oil, heavy oil), using only NMR data. Three techniques ...
metal gain
Oil & gas; Oilfield
The apparent increase in thickness of a casing or tubing string compared to the assumed value. Metal gain is determined by electromagnetic thickness, acoustic resonance or ...
