Search Result for Barrels Per Day Bpd
bpd or BPD
Abbreviation: barrels per day.
bopd
Abbreviation: barrels of oil per day.
b/d
Abbreviation: barrels per day; often used in drilling reports
stripper
1. a well nearing depletion that produces a very small amount of oil or gas, usually ten barrels per day or less.
barrels per day (bpd)
In the United States, a measure of the rate of flow of a well; the total amount of oil and other fluids produced or processed per day.
mud-mixing devices
Any of several devices used to agitate, or mix, the liquids and solids that make up drilling fluid. These devices include jet hoppers, paddles, stirrers, mud guns, and chemical barrels.
circulating rate
Volume flow rate of circulating drilling fluid expressed in gallons or barrels per minute
low-yield clay
Commercial clay chiefly of the calcium montmorillonite type and having a yield of approximately 15 barrels per ton.
low-yield clay
Commercial clay chiefly of the calcium montmorillonite type and having a yield of approximately 15 barrels per ton.
spot
To pump a designated quantity of a substance (such as acid or cement) into a specific interval in the well. For example, 10 barrels of diesel oil may be spotted around an area in the hole in which drill collars are stuck against the wall of the hole in an effort to free the collars.
barrel (bbl)
1. a measure of volume for petroleum products in the United States. One barrel is the equivalent of 42 U.S. gallons or 0.15899 cubic meters (9,702 cubic inches). One cubic meter equals 6.2897 barrels.
yield
A term used to define the quality of a clay by describing the number of barrels of a given centipoise slurry that can be made from a ton of clay. Based on the yield, clays are classified as bentonite, high yield, low yield, etc., types of clays. Not related to yield value below. See API RP 13B for procedures.
high-yield drilling clay
A classification of commercial drilling-clay preparations having a yield of 35 to 40 barrels per ton and intermediate between bentonite and low-yield clays. Usually prepared by peptizing low-yield calcium montmorillonite clays or, in a few cases, by blending some bentonite with the peptized low yield clay
trip tank
A small mud tank with a capacity of 10 to 15 barrels, usually with 1-barrel or H-barrel divisions, used to ascertain the amount of mud necessary to keep the wellbore full with the exact amount of mud that is displaced by drill pipe. When the bit comes out of the hole, a volume of mud equal to that which the drill pipe occupied while in the hole must be pumped into the hole to replace the pipe. When the bit goes back in the hole, the drill pipe displaces a certain amount of mud, and a trip tank can be used again to keep track of this volume.
