Элемент твердых веществ контроль оборудования, состоящий из перевернутого конуса, грязи кормят тангенциально в часть верхней (большего диаметра). Результате Йо-йо эффект силы твердых веществ к стенке устройства и выхода из нижней (АПЕКС) конуса, в то время как очищаемой жидкости выходит на вершине. Гидроциклоны классифицируются по размеру конуса как desanders (обычно 12 дюймов в диаметре) или desilters (4-6 дюймов в диаметре) и будут отдельные частицы в средне-, штраф - и ультрадисперсных типоразмеры. Эффективность гидроциклонов бедных в вязкой грязи взвешенное и многие подразделения в настоящее время заменяются более эффективным, высокоскоростной шейкеры.

An adapter that serves to connect the rotary table to the kelly. The kelly bushing has an inside diameter profile that matches that of the kelly, usually square or hexagonal. It is connected to the rotary table by four large steel pins that fit into mating holes in the rotary table. The rotary motion from the rotary table is transmitted to the bushing through the pins, and then to the kelly itself through the square or hexagonal flat surfaces between the kelly and the kelly bushing. The kelly then turns the entire drillstring because it is screwed into the top of the drillstring itself. Depth measurements are commonly referenced to the KB, such as 8327 ft KB, meaning 8327 feet below the kelly bushing.

An acidic salt, ZnCl<sub>2</sub>, used as one of the standard saturated salt solutions for calibration of the electrohygrometer. Saturated zinc chloride solution at room temperature has 10% relative humidity. Zinc chloride can be used to scavenge sulfides from a mud system in cases where the addition of a chloride salt will not cause detrimental effects on mud performance, such as in a saltwater mud.

An abbreviated recovery of pipe out of, and then the replacement of same back into the wellbore. Such a trip is normally limited to 10 or 20 stands of drillpipe. Since the short trip is drillpipe only (no bottomhole assembly for the drilling crew to handle), and is limited in length, it can be accomplished quickly and sometimes results in additional information or improved operating conditions. A short trip often is used to gauge whether a hole is clean or whether the mud weight is sufficient to permit a full trip out of the hole.

An abbreviated recovery and replacement of the drillstring in the wellbore that usually includes the bit and bottomhole assembly passing by all of the openhole, or at least all of the openhole that is thought to be potentially troublesome. This trip varies from the short trip or the round trip only in its function and length. Wiper trips are commonly used when a particular zone is troublesome or if hole-cleaning efficiency is questionable.

Alteration of the far-field or virgin characteristics of a producing formation, usually by exposure to drilling fluids. The water or solid particles in the drilling fluids, or both, tend to decrease the pore volume and effective permeability of the producible formation in the near-wellbore region. At least two mechanisms are at work. First, solid particles from the drilling fluid physically plug or bridge across flowpaths in the porous formation. Second, when water contacts certain clay minerals in the formation, the clay typically swells, increasing in volume and decreasing the pore volume. Third, chemical reactions between the drilling fluid and the formation rock and fluids can precipitate solids or semisolids that plug pore spaces. One approach to minimize formation damage is to use drill-in or completion fluids that are specially formulated to avoid damage to the formation when drilling pay zones, rather than ordinary drilling fluids.
Industry:Oil & gas
A wellbore that requires the use of special tools or techniques to ensure that the wellbore path hits a particular subsurface target, typically located away from (as opposed to directly under) the surface location of the well.
Industry:Oil & gas
A work shift of a drilling crew. Drilling operations usually occur around the clock because of the cost to rent a rig. As a result, there are usually two separate crews working twelve-hour tours to keep the operation going. Some companies prefer three eight-hour tours. The graveyard tour is the overnight shift or the shift that begins at midnight. (Pronounced "tower" in many areas. )
Industry:Oil & gas
A wellbore that is not vertical. The term usually indicates a wellbore intentionally drilled away from vertical.
