CORROSION : The transformation of a metal used as a material of construction from the

elemental to the combined state.

Mention 3 types of corrosion.?

Types : Bimetalic Corrosion
Fretting Corrosion
Galvanic Corrosion
Inter Granullar Corrosion
Localized Attach Corrosion
Pitting Corrosion
Stress Cracking Corrosion
Uniform Corrosion
H2 S
HYDROGEN SULFIDE ( ) : Usually expressed as gas in molecular percent; however, at
a given pressure, gas enters into the solution of fluid (dissolves in water, oil,
etc.). Gas percent is difficult to relate to corrosivity; however, expressed as PPM
(parts per million), the severity of corrosion rate of steel is more easily related to
the concentration of hydrogen sulfide.
INHIBITOR A chemical substance or combination of substance, which. When present in the
proper concentration and forms, prevents or reduces corrosion by a physical, or
chemical action.
PITS Corrosion of a metal surface confined to a point or small area which takes the form of
cavities.
SCALING A. The formation at high temperature of thick corrosion product layers on a metal
surface.
B. The deposition of water-insoluble constituents on a metal surface.
pH The pH values are a method of expressing the degree of acidity or alkalinity of solutions.
pH values less than 7 denote acidity. pH values greater than 7 denote alkalinity.
7 is considered neutral. Each whole number indicates one-tenth of the
concentration of the preceding whole number; i.e., pH of 1 is 10 times the
acidity of pH 2.
VELOCITY High velocities of flow can result in cavitation erosion and impingement attack.
Some motion in a corrosive system generally causes greater uniformity and
results in a thinning type of erosion rather than pitting. Turbulence may occur at
high velocity and may result in nonuniform conditions that lead to pitting
corrosion.
ABANDON To cease efforts to produce oil or gas from a well and to plug a depleted formation
and salvage all material and equipment.
CASINGHEAD GAS (oil well gas) Associated and dissolved gas produced along with crude
oil from oil completions.
CASINGHEAD PRESSURE Gas pressure built up between the casing and tubing.
CONDENSATE Hydrocarbons which are in the gaseous state under reservoir conditions but
which become liquid either in passage up the hole or at the surface.
CONNATE WATER Water inherent to the producing formation; or fossil sea water trapped in
the pore spaces of sediments during their deposition.
DOG LEG A bend in pipe, a ditch, or a well.
DISPOSAL WELL A well through which water (usually salt water) is returned to subsurface
formations.
DISSOLVED GAS Natural gas which is in solution with crude oil in the reservoir.
DOGHOUSE A small house used for keeping lease records, changing clothes, or for other uses
around a lease.
FLUID INJECTION Injection of gases or liquids into a reservoir to force oil toward and into
producing wells.
FLUID LEVEL Distance between well head and point to which fluid rises in the well.
FORMATION PRESSURE Pressure at the bottom of a well that is shut in.
FRACTURING Application of hydraulic pressure to the reservoir formation to create fractures
through which oil or gas may move to the well bore.
IN SITU COMBUSTION The setting afire of some portion of the reservoir in order that the
gases produced by combustion will drive oil ahead of it to the producing wells.

1. One of the pioneer companies in electric well logging, named for the French scientist
who first developed the method. What is the companies?
Answer :Schlumberger

2. A technique for analyzing the grain-size distribution of a core sample. A cleaned,

weighed core sample is disaggregated and agitated through a series of stacked screens
with progressively smaller openings. The material left on each screen is weighed in order
to give a distribution of quantity versus sieve size. Sieve analysis may be done dry, wet
or a combination of both. Wet analysis is necessary for analyzing any clay fraction.
Answer : Sieve Analysis

3. A treatment performed to restore or enhance the productivity of a well. The treatments

fall into two main groups, hydraulic fracturing treatments and matrix treatments. What is
it?
Answer :Well Stimulation
4. What is the name of field that is by far the largest conventional oil field that is located in
Saudi Arabia and operated by Saudi Aramco?
Answer Ghawar Field
1. Mention 4 kinds of unconformity according to Dunbar and Rogers, 1957 in the rock
deposition
Answer : - Angular unconformity
- Disconformity
- Nonconformity
- Paraconformity
1. What the name of Drilling wells between known producing wells to exploit the re-
sources of a field to best advantage?? (Infill well)
2. Mention 2 example of weighting agent for drilling mud?(Barite, galena, calcium
carbonate, brine solution)
3. Whats kind of cementing to close unproductive formation zone?(squezze cementing)
