Undefined jargon

[edit]

Here are some terms needing definition somewhere:

  • BOED and MM BOE - used unexplained in Petrobras; probably related to Barrel of oil equivalent, but how exactly?
  • BOED is barrels of oil per day
  • MM is the number 1,000
  • BOE is barrels of oil
  • bump, can refer to calibrating a 4 gas monitor.
  • CCU, cargo carrying unit
  • centralizer
  • cmt abbreviation for cement
  • csg abbreviation for casing, not to be confused with Coal Seam Gas
  • displacement
  • EDS, emergency disconnect system or switch, noun and verb, as in "I am EDSing"
  • ESD, emergency shut down (maybe electrical equipment)

"I' am ESDing."

Hanger can refer to tubing hanger without the abbreviation TBG or CSG you don't know which one. There is a tubing hanger as well.

  • moonpool
  • plug, surface plug
  • pre-salt layer meaning rocks lying under a salt layer[1] related to "subsalt"?
  • splash, as in "when the BOP was splashed"; splash zone (part of marine structure which sometimes gets wet?)

  1. ^ "Questions & Answers - Petrobras". Petrobras. Retrieved 25 June 2010. "pre-salt" makes reference to an aggregation of rocks located offshore ... potential to generate and accumulate oil. ... called pre-salt because it forms a rock interval that ranges under an extensive layer of salt ... The "pre" expression is used because, through time, these rocks were deposited before the salt layer.
