2. What plain term describes micro-paleontologists, who examine micro-fossils from well
cuttings to learn more about the depositional environment?
Bug Pickers
4. A pipe under axial tension is most likely to undergo what type of failure?
Collapse
5. The spindle and the drill occurs when the bit rotates off its vertical axis.
Whirl
6. Vibrations that induce in the bit an intermittent movement that makes it lose contact with the
formation. The bit bounce at the bottom of the well.
Bit bounce.
7. Load losses from the friction generated at the well walls cause the pressure along the well to
increase and become larger than the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid. What does this pressure
express in terms of drilling fluid weight?
ECD (equivalent circulating density)
8. Twist that stops the drill from turning for a few minutes. The energy then stored and
generated by the pause is then released, accelerating the BHA.
Slip-stick
9. Only allows the flow of drilling fluid from within the column to annular. It prevents that in
case of unbalance of pressures between the annular and the inside of the column, there is a
reverse flow that will clog the jet of the drill or dislodge special tools of continuous
directional registration.
Float sub
18. According to BP’s 2014 Statistical Review, which regions uses most coal in world and which
country uses most within region?

20. Following recent push into Arctic, Russia has build the first Arctic drilling rig called
Pirazlomnaya. Which sea does the rig operate and by which environmental group was it
boarded recently?
Pechora Sea and Greenpeace
25. Name 2 parameters that define the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
flowing liquid if no phase change takes place.
Specific heat, mass flowrate
29. When was the first Middle East Oil and Gas Show and Conference is held?
1979
31. If a contact angle of a fluid wetting a solid surface is 90 degrees, what does this signify?
Neutral wettability.
32. An oil reservoir that is to be produced by water flood has been display fractional flow curve.
Assuming the water is immobile, according to the frontal displacement theory what is the
average water saturation in the swept region prior to water breakthrough?
0.55
37. Jet pumps and electric submersible pumps are popular. What kind of pumps are these, if not
static?
Dynamic pumps.
38. Which slower elastic body sound wave cannot travel through liquid?
S wave.
42. Removal of corrosive gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide is called:
Sweetening (sour gas sweetening)
43. When a source roch is examined under a reflective microscope, the reflection of this organic
matter helps to find the maturity of the source rock, what is it called?
Vitrinite.
50. ISIP
Instantaneous Shut In Pressure
