Oilfield

endfire array

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A particular arrangement of transmitters and receivers used in the electromagnetic propagation measurement in which the dipoles used as sensors are oriented along the axis of the tool. The ...

A parameter used to characterize thermal neutron interactions in bulk material. Thermal diffusion length (L d ) is the characteristic distance between the point at which a neutron becomes thermal and ...

drillable packer

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A packer assembly that can be removed from the wellbore only by drilling or milling. Drillable packers, and similar tools such as bridge plugs, are typically made from cast iron, aluminum, plastic or ...

slowing-down length

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A parameter used to characterize neutron interactions in bulk material above the thermal region. The slowing-down length (L s ) is proportional to the root-mean-square distance from the point of ...

random error

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A nonreproducible error that is generally imputable to the physics of the measurement. For example, the statistical errors in nuclear measurements are random errors.

quantile map

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A map based on quantile values from the probabilities of the values of the data. This map is used to reveal problems with distributions of variables in geostatistical studies.

coherence vector map

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A map that displays the degree of correlation between wells as a vector that points from one well to another, the length of the vector being related to the degree of correlation from a correlogram. ...
