This set of Petroleum Production Operations Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Perforator Performance Evaluation”.
1. Which of the following company first discovered the reliable simulation procedure for downhole perforation?
a) Exxon
b) Baker Hughes
c) Schlumberger
d) Halliburton
View Answer
Explanation: Exxon is the company that first discovered the reliable simulation procedure for downhole perforation. This system was initially called the “Productivity Method of Perforator Testing”. The test plan designed to simulate the actual downhole conditions including the permeability before and after perforating etc.
2. Which of the following is the current Perforation Methods for evaluating Perforations?
a) Flow test
b) API RP 43
c) Pressure test
d) AAPG test
View Answer
Explanation: API RP 43 is the current Perforation Method for evaluating Perforations. The types of shaped charge and bullet guns that have to be used in the method of perforation are determined by the API RP 43 test.
3. The full form of ASTM is the American Society of Testing and Mining.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The statement is False. The correct full form of ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials. This society develops and scrutinizes technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services in the field of engineering.
4. What is the full form of API in the context of the Oil and Gas industry?
a) American Petroleum Industry
b) Amsterdam Petroleum Institute
c) Amsterdam Petroleum Industry
d) American Petroleum Institute
View Answer
Explanation: The full form of API in the context of Oil and Gas industry is American Petroleum Institute. In oil and gas industry; API guidelines are followed to safeguard the job by maintaining guidelines of this prestigious organization.
5. What is the full form of SPE?
a) Society of Production Engineers
b) Society for Production Engineers
c) Society of Petroleum Engineers
d) Society for Petroleum Engineers
View Answer
Explanation: The full form of SPE is the Society of Petroleum Engineers. SPE is a constituent of the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME). SPE is the largest individual-member organization serving engineers, managers, scientists, and other professionals by providing knowledge in the upstream sector of the Oil and Gas Industry.
6. What is the full form of AAPG?
a) American Association of Petroleum Geologists
b) American Association for Petroleum Geologists
c) American Association of Petroleum Geology
d) American Association for Petroleum Geology
View Answer
Explanation: The full form of AAPG is the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. This organization was founded in 1907. Denise Cox is the president of this prestigious organization.
7. The ASTM C-190 test is a crushing test of an unsupported column at the downhole condition.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The statement is False. The ASTM test is a crushing test of an unsupported column at atmospheric condition. Crushing action measured on the surface is generally less than measured in the downhole in the zone to be perforated.
