Describing the amount (in percent) of a material added to cement, and is often abbreviated as BWOC. BWOC is the method used to describe the amount of most additives in the dry form.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing the environment and conditions of the marine zone between low tide and the edge of the continental shelf, a depth of roughly 200 m (656 ft). A neritic environment supports marine organisms, also described as neritic, that are capable of surviving in shallow water with moderate exposure to sunlight.
Industry:Oil & gas
Dispersed particles in a slurry that can be separated by filtration and are not dissolved. In the water, oil and solids test (retort test), the retort solids are divided into two types, dissolved and suspended solids. Suspended solids are the particulates. In calculating solids content of water- or oil-base muds, suspended solids are divided into high-gravity and low-gravity solids (HGS and LGS). LGS are sometimes further subdivided into active (clay) and inactive solids.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing the amount (in percent) of a material added to a cement slurry based on the weight of water used to mix the slurry. Commonly abbreviated as BWOW, this convention normally is used only for salt (NaCl).
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing the amount (in percent) of a material added to cement when the material is added based on the total amount of a specific blend, often abbreviated as BWOB.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing sensors that are embedded in drill collars in order to record measurements-while-drilling.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing sedimentary rock that contains clay minerals. Even small amounts of clay minerals in pores can drastically reduce porosity and permeability. Dirty and clean are qualitative, descriptive terms to describe the relative amount of clay minerals in a rock.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing sandy-textured rock or sediment. Arenaceous does not necessarily imply silica-rich, but rather particles of sand size, 0. 625 to 2 mm, according to the Udden-Wentworth scale.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing rocks or sediments containing particles that are silt- or clay-sized, less than 0. 625 mm in size. Most have a high clay-mineral content, and many contain a sufficient percentage of organic material to be considered a source rock for hydrocarbon.
Industry:Oil & gas
Describing parallel or subparallel, closely-spaced, overlapping or step-like minor structural features in rock, such as faults and tension fractures, that are oblique to the overall structural trend.
