In this seminar Dana Jurick, Chief Operating Officer of Neubrex Energy Services US LLC. discusses the collection, analysis and interpretation of strain measurements utilizing fiber optic cables.
Flowback
Return flow of slickwater that was injected during a stimulation. This is a highly controlled process in which well head pressure is reduced to allow managed fluid recovery. Fluids are commonly sampled and chemically analyzed to determine the effects of injection and stimulation in the reservoir.
Geothermal Glossary
Word of the Week – Conduction
Conduction For geothermal applications, this refers to heat transfer in solids where thermal energy flows via microscopic-submicroscopic collisions of particles, which at a macro level is seen as solid-state diffusion. A vertical conductive thermal gradient is linear...
Word of the Week – Convection
Convection Refers to heat transfer by fluid circulation in permeable rocks where thermal energy is transported with the flow of hot fluid (water or steam).
Word of the Week – Cooling Tower
Cooling Tower Plant equipment that is used to dissipate heat into air rather than into a river. Cooling is induced in two different ways. For binary plants, dry cooling towers use fans to draw air across a heat exchanger and this removes heat from a working fluid...
