ACCUMULATION GAS [16 records]

Record 1 2022-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil and Natural Gas Extraction
DEF

The vertical height of a gas accumulation above the gas-oil or gas-water contact.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Extraction du pétrole et du gaz naturel

Record 3 2015-02-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Deposits
DEF

A layer of gas on top of oil in an underground structure or reservoir.

CONT

When gas alone is used as the injected fluid, it is usually put into the top of the reservoir where gas normally collects to form a gas cap.

CONT

Gas not dissolved in oil as a result of high pressure will collect in the highest part of the reservoir to form a gas cap with the oil below it.

CONT

Gas(being the lightest) occupies the upper part of the reservoir rocks, water occupies the lower portion, and oil occupies the intermediate section. In addition to occurring as a gas cap or as a solution gas, gas may exist as an accumulation independent of the oil; when this holds true, the reservoir is called a gas reservoir.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gisements pétrolifères
DEF

Dans un gisement, gaz déjà séparé du pétrole et le plus souvent rassemblé au voisinage du sommet de la structure.

CONT

Le gisement peut [...] être surmonté par une poche de gaz (gas-cap) dont la capacité d'expansion est beaucoup plus grande que celle des liquides. Enfin, le gaz initialement dissous dans l'huile du gisement peut se dégager, sous l'effet de l'abaissement de pression, et former un gas-cap dans un gisement qui initialement n'en comportait pas.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Yacimientos petrolíferos
CONT

En un campo que contiene gas y aceite, parte del gas se almacenará a menudo en la parte superior del yacimiento en un depósito único conocido como casquete de gas.
