Glossary

The Kallanish Glossary aims to be a useful resource for complex industry specific terminology. We are constantly adding to our glossary, so if you have a suggestion or amendment please do get in touch.
Natural Gas

A naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon gases that is highly compressible and expansible. Natural gas is often found in association with crude petroleum. 

Natural Gas Liquid

The portions of gas from a reservoir that are liquified at the surface in separators, field facilities, or gas processing plants. NGL from gas processing plants is also called liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Natural gas liquids include propane, butane, pentane, hexane and heptane, but not methane and ethane, since these hydrocarbons need refrigeration to be liquefied. 

Naturally Flowing Well

This is a well in which the formation pressure is sufficient to produce oil at a commercial rate without requiring a pump.

Neutralization

This is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt and water. The process involves removing acidic contaminants from muds and formation of emulsifiers in oil mud. 

Non-Associated Gas

Natural gas produced from a reservoir that does not contain significant quantities of crude oil.
