Diagnostic Fracture Injection Test. A subsurface well test in which pressure is monitored as a small volume of fluid is injected into a reservoir to develop a hydraulic fracture. Monitoring continues to produce a pressure versus time plot that is analyzed to determine reservoir properties, formation pressure, and stress regime.
BHA Refers to Bottom Hole Assembly, which is the system of tools at the bottom of the drill string that is used for drilling directional wells. The BHA includes the drill bit, mud motor, drill collar, and any tools that are used for making measurements while...
Binary Cycle Power Plant A power plant in which the produced geothermal fluid passes through a heat exchanger and heats a low boiling point liquid, commonly an organic compound such as pentane, to vaporize and condense as it passes through a turbine and generate...
