  2. Multilevel groundwater monitoring systems - Wikipedia

    Multi-screen casing completion: the MLS is installed inside of a multi-screened steel or PVC well. Each well screen segment has a sand or gravel pack between it and the borehole wall, and is thus isolated from monitoring zones above and below by a grout or bentonite seal. The MLS is then constructed inside of the multi-screened well.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    The measured depth is the length of the well including any angled or horizontal sections. Consider two wells, X and Y. Well X has a measured depth of 9,800 ft and a true vertical depth of 9,800 ft while well Y has measured depth of 10,380 ft while its true vertical depth is 9,800 ft.

  4. Nested wells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_wells

    Successful installation of nested wells has been reported by the U.S. Geological Survey [6] in deep (several hundreds to over one thousand feet), large diameter boreholes (≥12 in), with multiple casings (monitoring zones), resulting in seals that are several tens to hundreds of feet thick.

    Casing Diameters of a Borehole Casing Diagram premium gas tight connections on a casing string. Casing is a large diameter pipe that is assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole. Similar to the bones of a spine protecting the spinal cord, casing is set inside the drilled borehole to protect and support the wellstream.

  6. Depth in a well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_in_a_well

    Well depth values from the wireline loggers operation are referred to as "logger's depth". The loggers depth are typically considered more reliable than the drillers depth. The differences between loggers and drillers depths are due to different stretch in the drilling string when drilling, and the wire line entered into the bore hole during ...

  7. Production packer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_packer

    In general, well completions may not incorporate a packer when the annular space is used as a production conduit. A production packer is designed to grip and seal against the casing ID. Gripping is accomplished with metal wedges called "slips." These components have sharpened, carburized teeth that dig into the metal of the casing. Sealing is ...

    The tubing may also have flow control mechanism. Single-well concentric kill string: within the well a small diameter concentric kill string is used to circulate kill fluids when needed. Single-well 2-tubing completion: in this instance 2 tubing strings are inserted down 1 well. They are connected at the lower end by a circulating head.

  9. Kelly drive - Wikipedia

    Simple diagram of a drilling rig and its basic operation. The kelly drive is #19. A kelly drive is a type of well drilling device on an oil or gas drilling rig that employs a section of pipe with a polygonal (three-, four-, six-, or eight-sided) or splined outer surface, which passes through the matching polygonal or splined kelly (mating) bushing and rotary table.
