Record 1 2017-06-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Compressed and Liquefied Gas (Petroleum)
DEF

A compressed gas that consists of flammable hydrocarbons (as propane and butane) and is used especially as fuel or as raw material for chemical synthesis.

OBS

liquefied petroleum gas; LPG: term and abbreviation officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gaz de pétrole comprimés et liquéfiés
CONT

Le gaz de pétrole liquéfié ou GPL est un mélange d'hydrocarbures légers stocké à l'état liquide et issu du raffinage du pétrole (40 % des ressources mondiales) et plus généralement du traitement du gaz naturel (60 % des ressources mondiales).

OBS

gaz de pétrole liquéfié; G.P.L. : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Gas de petróleo comprimido y licuado
DEF

Gas comprimido que aparece como subproducto de la refinación de petróleo o de fabricación de gasolina natural.

CONT

El gas natural no es lo mismo que GLP, que es gas licuado de petróleo. El gas natural es metano en aproximadamente un 95 % en nuestro medio, según el yacimiento de origen y normalmente se lo almacena en forma de gas, mientras que el GLP [gas licuado de petróleo] es propano en su mayor parte, que es almacenado como líquido.

OBS

Incoloro, no corrosivo, no tóxico. Inflamable.

CONT

Western Canadian Oil and Gas Pool reserves. Contains the annual report of established, remaining petroleum reserves for all oil and gas pools. It also contains pool parameters such as; porosity, mean pay thickness, pool area, producing depth and fluid properties.

CONT

Gas Reservoir/Wellbore Orientation Screening Study: Survey of Horizontal Gas Wells.

CONT

This course expands reservoir engineering principles and practices to gas reservoirs. It emphasizes reserve estimation, gas well testing, the prediction of gas well performance, and the development and management of the different types of gas reservoirs.

Key term(s)

  • natural gas pool
  • natural gas producing formation
  • gas producing formation
  • accumulation of gas
