George King is a technology provider in the oil and gas industry specializing in new technology and problem oil well solutions.
Pressuring and depressuring the tubing (ballooning) to remove plugs or knock scale and other debris loose from the tubing wall.
Industry:Oil & gas
Pressuring up with supply gas and then opening the well. This works for wells without packers where the annulus can be used as a pressure charge chamber. When a well has a packer, the effect may also work if the liquids are pushed into the formation and then brough back with the extra gas for lift.
Industry:Oil & gas
Primary or compression wave. A seismic body wave that involves particle motion, alternating compression and expansion. It is the fastest seismic wave.

Probable reserves are those unproved reserves which analysis of geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. In this context, when probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. In general, probable reserves may include (1) reserves anticipated to be proved by normal step-out drilling where sub-surface control is inadequate to classify these reserves as proved, (2) reserves in formations that appear to be productive, based on well log characteristics, but lack core data or definitive tests and which are not analogous to producing or proved reservoirs in the area, (3) incremental reserves attributable to infill drilling that could have been classified as proved if closer statutory spacing had been approved at the time of the estimate, (4) reserves attributable to improved recovery methods that have been established by repeated commercially successful applications when (a) a project or pilot is planned, but not in operation and (b) rock, fluid, and reservoir characteristics appear favorable for commercial application, (5) reserves in an area of the formation that appears to be separated from the proved area by faulting and the geologic interpretation indicates the subject area is structurally higher than the proved area, (6) reserves attributable to a future workover, treatment, re-treatment, change of equipment, or other mechanical procedures, where such procedure has not been proved successful in wells which exhibit similar behavior in analogous reservoirs, and (7) incremental reserves in proved reservoirs where an alternative interpretation of performance or volumetric data indicates more reserves than can be classified as proved. Often referred to as P2.

Industry:Oil & gas
Process where a special resin exchanges chloride or hydroxide for contaminant anions such as fluoride, nitrate, sulfate and bicarbonate. Water purification is the primary use.
Industry:Oil & gas
Produced gas within pipeline spec and under sufficient pressure to enter the pipeline against the pressure of the fluid in the pipeline.
