Record 1 2007-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

Condition for working coiled tubing through a pressurized stripper, where wellbore pressure applied against the cross-sectional area of the tube creates an upward acting force greater than the weight of the tubing in the wellbore.

CONT

Snubbing usually requires an array of wireline blocks and wire rope that forces the pipe or tools into the well through a stripper head or blowout preventer until the weight of the string is sufficient to overcome the lifting effect of the well pressure on the pipe in the stripper.

OBS

snubbing: A term used to describe the process of removing or installing pipe into a pressurized well bore, using specialized equipment including blowout preventers in a special arrangement.

OBS

In this condition, mechanical assistance is required to apply thrust to the tubing while injecting or to maintain control of the tubing when extracting. This condition is commonly called "light pipe operations."

OBS

pressure control: commonly referred to as snubbing; running of tool and/or pulling of tubing under well pressure.

Record 2 2003-11-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

The presence of an axial plasma jet in dynamic hohlraum experiments can affect our interpretation of the radiation temperature within the hohlraum. We expect to see a jet on PBFAZ, after the tungsten wire array implodes and strikes the inner annular foam target. If this jet is created by the radiation from the wires heating the outer edge of the foam, analytic calculations suggest it will have a negligible effect on the transmitted soft x-ray spectrum. How-ever, creation or modification of a plasma jet by accelerator prepulse, magnetohydrodynamic instabilities, or elec-trode effects could affect our analysis of the spectral data as seen through the end-on viewing aperture.

Record 3 2000-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

To put pipe or tools into a high pressure well that has not been killed (i.e., to run pipe or tools into the well against pressure).

OBS

Snubbing usually requires an array of wireline blocks and wire rope that forces the pipe or tools into the well through a stripper head or blowout preventer until the weight of the string is sufficient to overcome the lifting effect of the well pressure on the pipe in the stripper.

Subject field(s)

  • Protection of Life
  • Security Devices
CONT

The three-wire array has one centerfield wire and two sense wires. The sense wires are installed directly above and below the field wire.

Record 7 1994-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Security
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Security Devices
CONT

An electric-field perimeter alarm system consists of a field generator, which excites a field of wire or wires, and a combination of sense wires. Anyone approaching the wire array distorts the electric field and induces an electrical signal in the sensing wires which in turn initiate an alarm.
