A small-diameter (2-4 in), removable pipe, set and sealed in a well inside a large-diameter casing placed in a producing horizon, through which oil and gas are produced (brought to the surface from the reservoir).

CONT

When oil is found, the drilling stops. The bit and string are pulled out of the hole, and a pipe called a production casing is put into the hole and cemented in place. Another pipe, called tubing, is put inside the casing. The oil will be pumped through the tubing, which is connected to valves on a Christmas tree.

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

The drilling method by which a hole is drilled by a rotating bit to which a downward force is applied.

CONT

During the last 40 years, rotary drilling has become the preferred method for penetrating underground formations... a special tool-the drill bit-rotates while bearing down on the bottom of the well, thus gouging and chipping its way downward... The drill bit is connected to the surface equipment through a drill pipe, a heavy-walled tubing through which the drilling mud is fed to the bottom of the bore hole. In most cases, the drill pipe also transmits the rotation motion from a turntable at the surface to the bit at the bottom of the hole.

OBS

[In this method] the bit is fastened to and rotated by the drill stem, which also provides a passageway through which the drilling fluid is circulated.

OBS

Rotary drilling was first used in 1901 in the Spindle Top field near Beaumont, Texas, but it was not until the 1920’s that this method became the most common one.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
DEF

Système de forage dans lequel le trépan est entraîné par un mouvement de rotation transmis depuis la surface par un arbre constitué de tiges creuses vissées bout à bout dans lesquelles circule un fluide.

CONT

Lorsque les prospecteurs s'attaquèrent à des terrains plus difficiles, ils durent s'y adapter en créant le procédé de forage rotary. [...] La méthode consiste à utiliser des trépans à molettes dentées ou des trépans diamantés, sur lesquels on appuie et que l'on fait tourner. L'action combinée du poids et de la rotation permet aux dents des trépans à molettes d'écailler la roche ou aux trépans diamantés de strier et détruire celle-ci. La rotation du trépan est obtenue en faisant tourner l'ensemble des tiges de forage [...] qui relient le trépan à la surface.

CONT

Forage par rotation [...] un outil de forage appelé trépan descend au fond du trou. Il est animé, depuis la surface, d'un mouvement de rotation donné par une table de rotation qui entraîne une tige spéciale creuse de section généralement carrée.

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.

CONT

Drip Irrigation - A watering technique that reduces water use by 20 - 50%, utilizing a series of hoses and small emitters or porous tubing to deliver small amounts of water to individual plants.

CONT

Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation of traditional drip irrigation where the tubing and emitters are buried beneath the soil surface, rather than laid on the ground or suspended from wires. The products being used today in subsurface drip irrigation come in three basic configurations : hard hose, drip tape, and porous tubing.... Porous pipe products emit water all along the length of the tubing. There are literally thousands of places per meter where water weeps out of the tubing. This design has shown resistance to plugging by roots. The disadvantage is its flow path is by far the smallest of the three configurations. This increases the likelihood of plugging by fine particles. It typically has the largest coefficient of manufacturing variability of the three configurations, which can be a major detriment because it prevents high distribution uniformities and high efficiencies.

Le goutte à goutte [...] permet de distribuer l'eau directement au pied des plantes, sans mouiller la partie supérieur (feuilles, fleurs, fruits). Il existe quatre techniques de goutte à goutte : le goutte à goutte mono fil : on ne pose qu'un seul goutteur ou un seul capillaire par plante ou par pot. Le goutte à goutte multitête : il s'agit d'une tête de distribution comportant 6, 8 ou 12 sorties. L'utilisation d'une gaine, un tube perforé tous les 30, 40 ou 50 cm. Les tubes poreux.

Drip Irrigation.... Water is delivered in small quantities under low pressure directly to... the root zone of the plants. You’ll need 1/2 inch polyethylene header pipe, and a roll of thin tape-like porous tubing. The header pipe connects to a garden hose and routes water through the garden. The pipe is placed either down the center or along one end of the garden. Small puncture holes are then made with a screwdriver into the header pipe at intervals corresponding to garden row. Eight-to ten-inch pieces of rubber connecting hose are then inserted into these holes. The other end of the connecting hose attaches to a length of porous tape. This tape is rolled out along each vegetable bed and cut to the same length as the row. Then end of the tape is then crimped to prevent water loss when the system is in use. Porous irrigation tape is best placed about three to four inches away from the base of the plants.
