George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
A solid hanger or test cup in a BOP. A retrieval plug attached to drill pipe. An inexperienced worker.
Industry:Oil & gas
A solid material that drops out of an over saturated solution. Usually driven by an upset of equilibrium.
Industry:Oil & gas
A solid stick of chloro-acetic or sulfamic acid for small scale removal of acid soluble deposits.
Industry:Oil & gas
A solids separation piece of equipment on a drilling rig that uses vibrating screens to remove solids from the returning mud.
Industry:Oil & gas
A solution containing the maximum concentration of a specific ion that it will hold at a certain temperature and pressure without precipitating.
Industry:Oil & gas
A solvent or acid wash of the wellbore with minimum leakoff into the matrix.
Industry:Oil & gas
A sonic caliper, developed in the late 1960’s, which generated a sonar picture of the wellbore.
Industry:Oil & gas
A sonic log measures the interval travel time (delta t) of compression sound waves moving through one foot of a formation (milliseconds/ft). If matrix velocity is known, porosity can be calculated since sound waves travel slower in porous media (travel slower in less dense materials such as fluids). Sonic logs are used for porosity determination, pressure determination in shale, as a correlation log, and a gas detector.
Industry:Oil & gas
A sonic log that determines the top of the cement column and estimates the quality of the cement bond between the casing and the formation. Works on transmission of a sound wave and identifies areas that conduct the wave and those that do not (free pipe ringing). Communication is likely if CBL>10% of unbonded mv reading. Communication is unlikely is CBL < 5% of unbonded mv reading and bond length > 10 ft (3 m).
Industry:Oil & gas
A sonic travel time record of a formation using a tool with an emitter and a detector. Measures porosity and is useful to compare to other porosity longs to estimate pore filling. Also used to generate rock strength evaluations.
