George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
One of the natural isotopes that as a trace element may incorporate into the matrix of naturally forming barium or strontium sulfate scale and make it a very low level radioactive material (NORM scale).
Industry:Oil & gas
One of the oldest and simplest logs. Measures voltage between formations and the fluid in the wellbore. Potential differences arise due to the differences between salinity of the formation and the wellbore fluids. SP is used for qualitative permeability, reservoir quality evaluation, Rw calculations and zone shaliness estimation.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon. The half life of the C14 isotope makes it idea for determining the difference between thermogenic methane (C14 absent) and biogenic gas.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of various braided cables, with or without isolated conductance wires, used for well operations.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of various mechanisms for controlling formation sand movement during fluid production from a weakly consolidated sandstone.
Industry:Oil & gas
One of various methods of consolidating the grains of an unconsolidated or weakly consolidated formation. Typically resin consolidation (epoxy, furan or phenol-formaldehyde), but may also include sodium silicate, coking, and mineral or metal precipitates.
Industry:Oil & gas
One or more of a variety of processes that seek to improve recovery of hydrocarbon from a reservoir after the primary production phase.
Industry:Oil & gas
One or more reservoirs grouped by or related to the same general geologic structural feature or stratagraphic condition.
Industry:Oil & gas
One to four strands of explosive detonating cord suspended by wireline in a well and exploded to “rattle” the pipe and drop scale and debris from the sides of the pipe. Used frequently in back-off operations (unscrewing a pipe joint downhole).
