Record 1 2012-10-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A miscible hydrocarbon displacement process consisting in the injection of lean gas at a high pressure in order to cause retrograde evaporation of the crude oil and formation of a miscible phase between the gas and oil.

OBS

C2-C6 components are transferred from the oil to the gas.

Key term(s)
  • high pressure gas drive
  • vaporizing gas drive

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
CONT

L'injection de gaz haute pression concerne l'injection de gaz d'hydrocarbures ou de gaz inertes. [...] Il est indispensable que l'huile soit relativement riche en intermédiaires. [...] Il y a enrichissement du gaz en produits lourds et en produits intermédiaires.

Record 3 2008-08-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
DEF

A long, small gauge catheter designed for insertion directly into a ureter, either through the urethra and bladder or posteriorly via the kidney.

CONT

Ureteral catheters can be used for a number of functions such as maintaining drainage, infusion of contrast media and ureteral dilation.

OBS

A catheter inserted into the orifice of the ureter during cystoscopy, usually for the relief of obstruction or for the injection of contrast medium for retrograde pyelography.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et appareillages médicaux
DEF

Fine sonde graduée introduite dans l'uretère, pouvant remonter jusqu'au bassinet du rein, et utilisée à des fins diagnostiques ou thérapeutiques.

CONT

La protection des anastomoses urinaires par la mise en place d'une sonde urétérale est de pratique courante en urologie [...].

OBS

L'anglais établit une distinction entre ureteral catheter (sonde introduite par l'urètre, la vessie ou le rein) et urethral catheter (sonde introduite par l'urètre). Cette distinction n'existe pas en français.
