Record 3 2012-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Distillation
CONT

A primary supplier's distillate pool for a distillate compliance period is the total volume of the batches of diesel fuel and heating distillate oil that they(a) produce at a production facility and, during the distillate compliance period, either(i) dispatch from the production facility, or(ii) dispense into the fuel tank of a vehicle or other mobile equipment within the production facility; and(b) import during the distillate compliance period.

Record 4 2011-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Deposits
CONT

An oil pool consists of a reservoir or group of reservoirs. However, the term is misleading because petroleum exists not in pools but in pores between rock grains.

OBS

Natural gas will be at the top of the pool, oil in the middle and water under it...

Key term(s)
  • pool of oil
  • deposit of oil
  • pool of petroleum
  • deposit of petroleum

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gisements pétrolifères
DEF

Ensemble de réservoirs ou de niveaux conventionnellement regroupés et délimités géographiquement, contenant des fluides présentant un intérêt.

OBS

Léger, le pétrole cherche naturellement à monter. Il a tendance à gagner la surface en empruntant les fissures et les minuscules canaux des roches perméables. S’il parvient à la surface, les produits légers qu’il contient s’évaporent, le reste suinte, il n’y aura pas de gisement. Mais si, sur sa route, le pétrole rencontre une couche poreuse et perméable, surmontée d’une couche imperméable formant un piège, alors il va s’accumuler dans cette roche-magasin et former un gisement.

OBS

Contrairement à une idée reçue, un réservoir de pétrole n’est pas un immense lac souterrain. Les hydrocarbures sont emmagasinés dans une roche poreuse et perméable (roche réservoir) qu’on pourrait comparer à une éponge imbibée d’eau.

Spanish

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

Unidad de acumulación de hidrocarburos representada por un volumen continuo de terreno impregnado.

CONT

Por su parte la Chevron notificó ayer que, desafortunadamente, la perforación concluyó que allí no existe el gran yacimiento petrolífero con el que se especuló.

Key term(s)
  • depósito petrolífero
  • yacimiento de petróleo
  • depósito de petróleo

Record 5 2011-09-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Prospecting
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A well drilled either in search of an as-yet-undiscovered pool of oil or gas(a wildcat well) or to extend greatly the limits of a known pool.

CONT

Cores are usually taken on exploration wells and early development wells.

OBS

Exploratory wells may be classified as (1) wildcat, drilled in an unproven area; (2) field extension or step-out, drilled in an unproven area to extend the proved limits of a field; or (3) deep test, drilled within a field area but to unproven deeper zones.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prospection minière
  • Sondage et forage miniers

Subject field(s)
  • Crude Oil and Petroleum Products
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
DEF

The paraffin, or sour dirt of the Gulf Coast fields; a yellow, waxy substance resembling beeswax, which has often been regarded as indicating the proximity of an oil or gas reservoir.

CONT

Sometimes the ground above an oil pool is greasy with a substance that oil prospectors call "paraffin dirt. "This is mostly the fat-rich bodies of bacteria that prospered for years on trickles of natural gas seeping up through the soil.

OBS

The term paraffin is probably a misnomer, and many have questioned the supposed relationship with petroleum.
