    Oil & Gas

    ProductionGlossary

    Abandonment / Decommissioning

    Process of dismantling wellhead,production and

    transportation facilities and restoration of depleted

    producing areas in accordance with licence

    requirements and /or legislation.

    Acid stimulation

    Form of hydrochloric acid is pumped down well hole to

    enlarge pore space in oil bearing rocks to increase flow

    and recovery.

    Acoustic log

    Record of time taken by a sound wave to travel over a

    certain distance through geological formations.

    Air injection

    An enhanced recovery technique in which air is inected

    into hydrocarbon formation to increase reservoir

    pressure.

    Annulus

    Artificial lift

    Any techniques, other than natural drives, for bringing

    oil to surface.

    Blow-down

    !ondensateand gasproduced simultaneously from

    outset of production.

    Casing perforation

    "oles made in linerof a finished well to allowhydrocarbonsto flow intoproduction tube.
