We are proud to be associated with the sixth edition of the D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator. It has become an indispensable tool within the oil and gas industry. Information included in this book has made writing tasks within energy and its related industries simpler, and has through the years added consistency to industry reports. Since its inception the book has grown and now has several new sections. We are especially thankful to all of the energy and related industries that contributed to our sixth edition. There are five new sections included in this edition. They are as follows: Directional Survey Methods, Frequently Cited Additives, Frequently Cited Fluids, Lithology and Formation Names, MMS Two Digit Area Prefix Standards. This book continues to be an ongoing tribute to the oil, gas, and energy industries that continue to develop and employ new technology. We are celebrating 55 years and hope to have fulfilled the need that our industry had in wanting an all-encompassing guide of terms used in the energy and allied industries. Val Williams v Preface to the Fifth Edition The D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator is still a viable tool used by various individuals in the energy industries. New information has been added to this edition consistent to industry reports and writings. New features for this edition include the full-color Michigan Stratigraphic Chart, and a fully electronic version of the D&D Abbreviator with the addition of Stephen Gerolde’s Universal Conversion Factors on CD. When the need for a fifth edition was announced, members of Desk and Derrick were asked to contribute any new changes, additions and deletions. As usual the members came through. I want to especially thank Elizabeth Dudley, Aramco Services Company; Dee Jansen, Stratland Exploration Company; Ellen Montgomery Coon, Great Lakes Directional Drilling; Mark Wollensack, Michigan Basin Geological Society and The Tulsa Geological Society for their input into this edition. In this the 50th anniversary of the founding of Desk & Derrick we are proud to still be associated with such a publication as the D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator and proud to be a vital part of the Energy Industry. Audrey M. Renegar vii Preface to the Fourth Edition The D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator is an indispensable tool in the oil, gas, and energy industries. Information included in this book has made writing tasks within energy and its related industries simpler, and has through the years added consistency to industry reports. The need for a fourth revision of this publication was announced in 1991. Immediately, all members of the Desk and Derrick Association were asked to contribute changes, additions, and/or deletions relating to their positions. Responses came not only from members, but also from industry businesses updating, correcting and adding according to each circumstance. This fourth edition contains over 11,500 abbreviations and definitions used in energy-related industries. Special thanks to Toni Stevens of Western Atlas International/Atlas Wireline Services (Anchorage, AK D&D) for her help in revising that portion of the Abbreviator; to Shirley Legaux (Lafayette, LA D&D) for the addition of the Federal Environmental Acronyms; Cindy Whitton (Tulsa, OK D&D), Ken Bell (Laurel, MS), Schlumberger Well Services, Marlene Meyers (Bakersfield, CA D&D), Linda Hill (New Orleans, LA D&D), and Linda Butler (N. Harris Montgomery County, TX D&D). A very special thank you to Bettye Hatcher Miller (Bellaire, TX D&D) for her continued interest and support of the D&D Abbreviator. Company names have changed. Dresser-Atlas is now Atlas Wireline Services, and Welex is now Halliburton Log Services or HAL. Some entries may be repeated within company, miscellaneous and/or alphabetical listings; this is for the convenience of the user. All terms are alphabetized by abbreviation and by definition. Be sure to check the table of contents for the section most likely to contain the information ix DD& Standard Oil & Gas Abbreviator which you work with. Once you begin to use the Abbreviator, you will find it an indispensable tool in your daily writing. Additions to this edition include Guide to Federal Environmental Acronyms, Computational Products Mnemonics, Service Name Mnemonics, and Log Heading Nomenclature. Logging nomenclature standards have not been established; therefore, abbreviations for these tools and services are under a separate heading. The fourth edition of the D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator is an ongoing tribute to the oil, gas, and energy industries that continues to develop and employ new technology and share it with the world. Consequently, there is a need served with each new edition of the Abbreviator—that of keeping our technical and everyday writing in step with the times. As the overall energy industry continues to change in order to survive, so have we of Desk and Derrick made this effort to simplify the daily work of those in the industry. As a convenience for engineers, draftsmen, and others using this abbreviator, the back of the book contains standard map symbols through the courtesy of American Petroleum Institute, mathematical symbols, and the Greek alphabet. The Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs hopes this book will continue to fill a need in the energy industry, not only to assist the secretary and the report writer, but to familiarize all newcomers with our unique way of doing things. In this, the 45th anniversary year of the founding of Desk and Derrick, we are proud that we found a need and undertook to fill it—we hope we have successfully continued that good effort. Jacqueline J. Brill x Preface to the Third Edition The D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator has become an indispensable tool within the oil and gas industry. The information it contains has made writing tasks much easier and has added uniformity. When this revision was announced, the members of Desk and Derrick, as usual, came through with updated information from every aspect of the oil and gas industry. I have come to the conclusion that “we can abbreviate everything” if we put our minds to it. This Third Edition contains over 10,500 abbreviations and definitions for our industry. Two new sections have been added. Within the Logging Section a new grouping was added for miscellaneous terms. Some are in the other groups, but this section also contains additional terms, thus alphabetizing all logging terms together. A new section was added—“Pipe Coating Terminology and Definitions”—and I am sure this will be a growing addition. These abbreviations and terms have been mechanically alphabetized through the IBM 5520 System, which takes into account symbols, i.e., hyphens, slashes, etc., and arranges the abbreviations and terms accordingly. Once you use the Abbreviator, you’ll appreciate the ease of using this system. I wish to thank all the members of D&D who made contributions to this new edition and also those people who helped arrange this information for publication. My wish for this edition is to further carry on the hope of the first D&D Standard Oil Abbreviator—to fill a need. Linda d’Allesandro Weatherly xi Preface to the Second Edition The gratifying response to the first edition of the D&D Oil Abbreviator, which carried it through three printings, seemed to demand a second edition. As in all undertakings, there are changes that “would be made if we had it to do over.” So the ladies of Desk and Derrick got behind the project a second time and submitted more data, pointed out earlier typographical errors, and suggested new features for this second edition.

  • Algeria Upstream OG Report.Pub
    ALGERIA UPSTREAM OIL & GAS REPORT Completed by: M. Smith, Sr. Commercial Officer, K. Achab, Sr. Commercial Specialist, and B. Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies.
