George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
A drive mechanism in a weak zone that displaces fluid by reducing the overall volume of the formation.
Industry:Oil & gas
A drive mechanism where a drop in pressure releases gas from the oil that helps drive the oil towards the wellbore. It is a poor recovery mechanism.
Industry:Oil & gas
A dry acid derivative of sulfuric which is used in very minor acid jobs in the form of acid sticks dropped into the well.
Industry:Oil & gas
A dual spacing formation density log, using two detectors at different distances from the source.
Industry:Oil & gas
A dynamic force. Most common is suddenly stopping a traveling casing string. May cause a pipe joint to separate.
Industry:Oil & gas
A dynamic kill procedure, used in low pressure wells, good for a short period of time. A typical top kill is to pump 5 bbl of fluid in the tubing, offsetting the tubing pressure as the fluid falls. The well must be monitored for pressure or flow and the pump truck usually stays connected in the event that another fluid pill is necessary.
Industry:Oil & gas
A elastomer bag or donut type seal, pushed into contact with the pipe or tools in the blow out preventer (BOP). It is designed to seal around pipe or any other irregular surface tool (packers, guns, pumps, etc.) that may be in the BOP. May also be called a Hydril preventer.
Industry:Oil & gas
A elastomer or metal-to-metal device that isolates one pressure region from another.
Industry:Oil & gas
A electronic “Wheatstone-type bridge” element than may form the measurement basis for a load cell or other strain measurement application. The device measures changes in electrical resistance produced by changes in load.
