Industry:Oil & gas
a wrench that is used to make up or break out drill pipe, tubing, or casing on which the torque is provided by air or fluid pressure. Conventional tongs are operated by a mechanical pull provided by a jerk line connected to a cathead.
Industry:Oil & gas
the assembly of well control equipment including preventers, spools, valves, and nipples connected to the top of the wellhead.
Industry:Oil & gas
a tubular, perforated device attached to the bottom of a suckerrod pump that helps to prevent gas lock. The device works on the principle that gas, being lighter than oil, rises. As well fluids enter the anchor, gas breaks out of the fluid and exits from the anchor through perforations near the top. Remaining fluids enter the pump through a mosquito bill (a tube within the anchor), which has an opening near the bottom. In this way, all or most of the gas escapes before the fluids enter the pump.
