Record 1 2025-02-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Site Organization
CONT

An access mat is a portable platform used to support equipment used in construction and other resource-based activities, including drilling rigs, camps, tanks, and helipads. It may also be used as a structural roadway to provide passage over unstable ground, pipelines and more.

French

Subject field(s)
  • Ship and Boat Parts
DEF

A hole cut in a structural member of a ship or offshore drilling rig, usually in a tank, to allow water to pass through freely.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parties des bateaux

Record 3 2015-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
DEF

Drilling done specifically to obtain detailed information delineating the location of folds, domes, faults, and other subsurface structural features undiscernible by studying strata exposed at the surface.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sondage et forage miniers
  • Recherches et prospections géologiques
DEF

Sondage [...] destiné à relever la cote d'une couche pour dessiner la carte structurale.

Record 4 2001-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geological Prospecting
CONT

Among the high grade intersections discovered were 39. 04 grams per tonne over 9. 0 metres and 16. 48 grams per tonne over 20 metres. Such high-grade intersections, and the structural continuity of the Charlie Richards ore body, suggest that further close-spaced drilling may lead to the definition of mineable underground reserves. The Company has hired an outside consultant to prepare a feasibility study of the potential underground development of this ore body.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prospection géologique
CONT

L'une des intersections à forte teneur aurifère qui ont été découvertes était de 39,04 grammes par tonne sur 9 mètres et une autre, de 16,48 grammes par tonne sur 20 mètres. De telles intersections à forte teneur aurifère, de même que la continuité structurelle du filon Charlie Richards, suggèrent que d'autres forages serrés pourraient conduire à la délimitation de réserves souterraines exploitables. La Société a embauché un consultant à l'externe, qui préparera une étude de faisabilité quant à une éventuelle exploitation souterraine de ce gisement.

Key term(s)

Record 5 2000-03-15

English

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

The first casing or conductor string(generally 30 or 36 in. in diameter) that is set in the drilling of a well from an offshore drilling rig. It prevents sloughing of the ocean-floor formations and is a structural support for the permanent guide base and blowout preventers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
DEF

Tube de grand diamètre, en tôle roulée et soudée, généralement mis en place par le génie civil et servant au début d'un forage.

Record 6 1999-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Toponymy
CONT

The San Rafael swell is a classic Laramide-style uplift exposing Jurassic through Cretaceous rocks in east-central Utah. Within the east-facing limb of the San Rafael monocline, the Carmel Formation can be divided into 10 mechanical units based on stratigraphic characteristics and style of deformation.

CONT

In some instances, it has been possible to target reservoirs exhibiting more than one characteristic favorable to the application of horizontal drilling technology. A good example is the Grassy Creek Trail Field located in Emery and Carbon counties, Utah, which produces oil from several members of the Lower Triassic Moenkopi Formation. The field is located on a small, low dip structural nose at the north end of the San Rafael Swell.
