WELL SPACING [12 records]

Record 1 2022-03-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

The addition of wells in a field that decreases the average well spacing.

OBS

[The] practice [of infill drilling] both accelerates expected recovery and increases estimated ultimate recovery in heterogeneous reservoirs by improving the continuity between injectors and producers. … spacing is decreased, the shifting well patterns alter the formation-fluid flow paths and increase sweep to areas where greater hydrocarbon saturations exist.

  • Office Automation
DEF

The result of adding information to plain text.

CONT

Rich text... supports text formatting, such as bold, italics, and underlining, as well as different fonts, font sizes, and colored text. Rich text documents can also include page formatting options, such as custom page margins, line spacing, and tab widths.

CONT

When everything except primary content is removed from rich text, only plain text should remain.

CONT

Most word processors allow you to save rich text documents in the generic Rich Text Format. This file format, which uses the .RTF extension keeps most, if not all the text formatting. However, because it is a standard format, it can be opened by just about any word processing program and even most basic text editors.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
  • Petroleum Deposits
  • Geothermal Energy
DEF

The regulation of the number and location of wells over a reservoir as a conservation measure.

CONT

No hard-and-fast rule can be laid down concerning well spacing. Clearly, the more closely the wells are spaced relatively to one another the less money will have to be spent upon collective pipework, but if they are too closely sited they may interfere with one another's performance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
  • Gisements pétrolifères
  • Énergie géothermique
DEF

Rapport entre le nombre de puits sur un gisement et la surface occupée au sol.

CONT

Aucune loi stricte ne peut être établie concernant l'espacement réglementaire des puits. Manifestement, plus les puits sont proches les uns des autres, moins on dépense d'argent en tuyauterie de récupération, mais s'ils sont situés trop près, ils peuvent interférer sur leurs performances respectives.

CONT

Our selection of deep well plates will meet the needs of any busy lab. The new 1 and 2 ml half-height plates offer the same center spacing with wider wells. All plates are SBS compliant for easy use with automation and archiving systems.

CONT

The BD BioCoat [trademark] Deep-Well Plate is a novel plate designed for use with 6-well size BD BioCoat or BD Falcon [trademark] Cell Culture Inserts. This plate accommodates the large media volumes needed when culturing cells on microporous membranes. The basolateral compartment of one well of the BD BioCoat Deep-Well Plate can hold up to seven times as much medium as the basolateral compartment of a regular 6-well plate (17 ml versus 2.5 ml). This significantly larger media volume reduces the frequency of cell feeding during extended cell culture periods or when culturing cells at the air-liquid interface. Recommended applications include the culture of Caco-2 cells, airway epithelial cells, or keratinocytes on BD BioCoat and BD Falcon [trademark] Cell Culture Inserts.

CONT

96-well deep-well plate.

Record 5 2002-09-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Systems
  • Gears and Friction Wheels
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

When the cepstral analysis is performed ... the ball-cage vibrations and changes in vibrations that are symptomatic of wear can be detected earlier in a test than they can be by more conventional methods based on straingauge measurements. ... Cepstral analysis is particularly useful in diagnoses of gearboxes and rolling element bearings ....

OBS

A cepstrum is a spectrum of a logarithmic power spectrum. Because of this, a peak in the cepstrum indicates periodicity in the spectrum; usually, this signifies a family of harmonics at equal frequency intervals.

OBS

Cepstral analysis has been widely applied to gear monitoring. The cepstrum is well suited for the detection of sidebands in vibration spectra and for the estimation of their evolution during gear life. In addition, since the cepstrum estimates the average sideband spacing over a wide frequency range, it allows very accurate measurement of the sideband periodicity. It is therefore applicable to both detection and diagnosis of gear faults.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cofferdams and Dewatering (Construction)
DEF

The lowest part of a drivers well, consisting essentially of a forged steel point, a screen, and short section of pipe threaded to fit a standard pipe.

CONT

Well-point [drainage] method. The term well point refers to the lower perforated end of a 2-in. or 2 1/2-in. pipe, commonly 40 in. long, that serves the double purpose of well casing and suction tube. The perforations are covered by a wire mesh. The well points are jetted into the ground at a spacing of 3 to 6 ft.

CONT

Basically, a well point is a perforated and screened pipe, about 1 1/2 in. in diameter and a few or several feet in length. The well point is fixed to a riser pipe, also of the same diameter, and the whole is driven with or without jetting ... The individual riser pipes are attached to a header pipe or manifold that leads to a pump.

Record 9 1989-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
DEF

The drilling, charging, and firing of several rows of vertical holes along a quarry or opencast face. The holes may be spaced in the square pattern with delay detonators in the rows as well as row by row. The spacing of the holes will vary according to their depth, diameter, and the type of rock. In general, 6-inch-diameter holes, 30 to 70 feet deep may be spaced 14 to 20 feet apart, and 9-inch-diameter holes 20 to 25 feet apart. The explosive factor may vary from 0. 5 to 1. 25 pounds per cubic yard(solid) of rock.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
CONT

Longtemps remise en cause pour des problèmes de vibration ou de granulométrie, les tirs en plusieurs rangées présentent en fait un intérêt économique assez marqué. L'accroissement de la taille du tir conduit à une réduction des temps improductifs des matériels et du personnel en aval. (...) En outre, la première rangée constituant un écran aux projections, on peut améliorer la fragmentation sans risque et donc faciliter les opérations en aval. Une augmentation légère de la consommation d'explosif améliore l'efficacité sans risque supplémentaire. Enfin, les tirs en masse permettent un meilleur étalement du tas.

Subject field(s)
  • Beekeeping
DEF

The distance(3/8 to 1/4 in.) between combs built naturally by bees, as discovered by L. L. Langstroth, USA. This distance is respected in modern bee-hives when spacing the frames, as well as the passage-ways between the ends of the combs and the walls. In the case of greater or smaller spaces, the bees will either build new combs there, or fill them with wax.(Source : McGraw Hill II/137).

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Geophysics
OBS

The Turam method [of electromagnetic exploration differs from the Sundberg method] in that the ratio of field intensities at two points is observed rather than the intensity at a single point. As with the Sundberg method, two frequencies within the 100-to 800-Hz range are employed. A cable several kilometers long is laid out as a source parallel to the expected strike and is grounded at both ends. Measuring coils are read in pairs along lines perpendicular to the cable, the spacing between them generally being about 25 m. In-phase and out-of-phase ratios are observed as well as amplitude ratios and phase-angle differences.
