Pemex Project as a courtesy by MasterWord Services, your translation provider. All terms in Spanish are adjusted to Mexican and Pemex terminology, excluding spoken slang. Where possible the terms in Spanish have been substantiated with official Mexican and Pemex sources. These include Official Mexican Standards and Regulations (NOM, NRF, etc.), as well as cites from the Petroleum Works Regulation of Mexico. In addition, various Pemex documents are indicated as sources. Where possible, we find it helpful to include definitions and explanations of the terms in view of the fact that a broad cross section of persons are involved in different aspects of these projects and may be aided by these descriptions.

The desander should be located downstream of the shale shakers and degassers, but before the desilters or mud cleaners. A volume of mud is pumped into the wide upper section of the hydrocylone at an angle roughly tangent to its circumference. As the mud flows around and gradually down the inside of the cone shape, solids are separated from the liquid by centrifugal forces. The solids continue around and down until they exit the bottom of the hydrocyclone (along with small amounts of liquid) and are discarded. The cleaner and lighter density liquid mud travels up through a vortex in the center of the hydrocyclone, exits through piping at the top of the hydrocyclone and is then routed to the mud tanks and the next mud- cleaning device, usually a desilter. Various size desander and desilter cones are functionally identical, with the size of the cone determining the size of particles the device removes from the mud system.

On the drillpipe side (inside surface), the slips are fitted with replaceable, hardened tool steel teeth that embed slightly into the side of the pipe. The outsides of the slips are tapered to match the taper of the rotary table. After the rig crew places the slips around the drillpipe and in the rotary, the driller slowly lowers the drillstring. As the teeth on the inside of the slips grip the pipe, the slips are pulled down. This downward force pulls the outer wedges down, providing a compressive force inward on the drillpipe and effectively locking everything together. Then the rig crew can unscrew the upper portion of the drillstring (PEMEX, saver sub, a joint or stand of pipe) while the lower part is suspended.

Each tenth of a pound per gallon is referred to as a "point" of mud weight. Note that for this low-accuracy measurement, no direct mention of gas cut is made. A gas cut is inferred only if the mud returning to the surface is significantly less dense than it should be.

GEMS Issue 10, Uncontrolled Copy C induction / induction logging (induction: 1. adj. [Formation Evaluation] Related to a wireline log of formation resistivity based on the principle of inducing alternating current loops in the formation and measuring the resultant signal in a receiver. In the simplest device, an alternating current of medium frequency (10?s of kHz) is passed through a transmitter coil, thereby inducing an alternating magnetic field in the formation. This field creates current loops in the formation. The loops produce their own magnetic field, which induce a current when they cross the receiver coil. This signal is proportional to the conductivity of the formation, with contributions from different regions of the formation summing approximately in conductivity. As a result, the induction log is most accurate at high conductivities and with resistive invasion. However, below about 1 ohm-m skin effect becomes important. Practical induction- logging tools use arrays of several coils, designed to achieve a specific focusing and depth of investigation. These arrays are either hardwired, such as the 6FF40, 5FF40 and others, or consist of several simple arrays that are combined in software (an array induction). For many years, the most common induction log was the 6FF40. This was often combined with the medium induction and a shallow laterolog or microresistivity log so as to correct for the effect of invasion, assuming a step profile. Induction logs also need borehole correction and shoulder-bed correction. In older tools, this was accomplished through multiple correction charts, while modern tools include software for this purpose. H.G. Doll introduced the first practical induction-logging technique in 1949.

This influx of fluids commonly results in an increase in pit volume or an increase in observed wellhead pressure. 2. kick (A flow of reservoir fluids into the wellbore during drilling operations. The kick is physically caused by the pressure in the wellbore being less than that of the formation fluids, thus causing flow. This condition of lower wellbore pressure than the formation is caused in two ways. First, if the mud weight is too low, then the hydrostatic pressure exerted on the formation by the fluid column may be insufficient to hold the formation fluid in the formation. This can happen if the mud density is suddenly lightened or is not to specification to begin with, or if a drilled formation has a higher pressure than anticipated. This type of kick might be called an underbalanced kick. The second way a kick can occur is if dynamic and transient fluid pressure effects, usually due to motion of the drillstring or casing, effectively lower the pressure in the wellbore below that of the formation. This second kick type could be called an induced kick.)) kick off point (KOP, spud in point for a well) kink (cable, wirerope) knuckle Koomey pump (pressurized bottle system) L.E.L.

In French, the term would be L.I.E. or Limit Inferior Explosive. The LEL is the smallest amount of gas that will support a self-propagating flame when mixed with air or oxygen and ignited. In gas detection systems, the amount of gas present is specified in terms of % LEL; 0% LEL is a combustible gas-free atmosphere, with 100% LEL being an atmosphere in which the gas is at its lower explosive limit. The relationship of % LEL and % by volume differs from gas to gas. Typical settings for an alarm circuit are 20% LEL for the low alarm and 50% for the high alarm. The LEL of a gas is affected by the temperature and pressure; as the temperature increases, the LEL decreases and hence the explosion hazard increases. Approximately 1 atmosphere of pressure increase usually lowers the LEL.

There is no difference between the casing joints themselves. The advantage to the well designer of a liner is a substantial savings in steel, and therefore capital costs. To save casing, however, additional tools and risk are involved. The well designer must trade off the additional tools, complexities and risks against the potential capital savings when deciding whether to design for a liner or a casing string that goes all the way to the top of the well (a "long string"). The liner can be fitted with special components so that it can be connected to the surface at a later time if need be. 2. n.

Mat supported rigs are advantageous in offshore areas with soft bottom conditions. There are two types of mat supported rigs, a slot and a cantilever. A slot design is appropriate for drilling exploratory wells in the absence of any existing permanent structure. A cantilevered jack-up has the ability to extend its drill floor and derrick over an existing, fixed structure. This type of rig consists of a floating upper hull with three legs which are attached to a lower hull commonly referred to as a mat. After being towed to the drilling location, the legs are lowered until the mat contacts the seabed and the upper hull is jacked to the desired elevation above sea level. One advantage of mat supported rigs is the ability to operate in areas having soft seabed conditions where independent leg rigs are prone to have excessive penetration and subject to leg damage.) // 1. Jackup Rig: A self-contained combination drilling rig and floating barge, fitted with long support legs that can be raised or lowered independently of each other.

Instead, the rig is partially submerged, but still floats above the drill site. When drilling, the lower hull, filled with water, provides stability to the rig.

This is radically different from the more conventional rotary table and Kelly method of turning the drillstring because it enables drilling to be done with three joint stands instead of single joints of pipe. It also enables the driller to quickly engage the pumps or the rotary while tripping pipe, which cannot be done easily with the Kelly system. While not a panacea, modern topdrives are a major improvement to drilling rig technology and are a large contributor to the ability to drill more difficult extended-reach wellbores. In addition, the topdrive enables drillers to minimize both frequency and cost per incident of stuck pipe." // 2.
