Testemunhagem
Operação de amostragem contínua das rochas do poço, que são trazidas à superfície para a análise dos geólogos. Inúmeras informações a respeito das características da rocha são obtidas: tipo de rocha, porosidade, permeabilidade, indícios de hidrocarbonetos, fraturas, etc.
Turret
Structure with bearings allowing an FPSO to remain anchored and align with environmental conditions
Extended Well Test (EWT)
Long-duration formation tests exceeding 72 hours during exploration to understand reservoir behavior.
TLWP (Tension Leg Wellhead Plataform)
Floating platforms used in deep waters, fixed with tensioned cables, supporting wellheads with dry completion.
Trading
