G
Associated gas
Natural gas produced along with oil.
Gas lift
Artificial oil lifting method involving the injection of gas under pressure into the production column through valves near the producing interval. The gas mixes with the oil, reducing its average density, allowing reservoir pressure to lift the oil to the surface.
API gravity (°API)
A way to express the relative density of oil or its derivatives. The API scale varies inversely with relative density. Oils with higher API degrees are lighter and more valuable.
Natural gas
Any hydrocarbon or mixture that remains gaseous under normal atmospheric conditions, extracted directly from petroleum or gas reservoirs, including wet, dry, residual, and rare gases.
Genesis
