5 Integration of Thermal Core Profiling and Scratch Testing for
the Study of Unconventional Reservoirs terms
This glossary is devoted to the article "Integration of Thermal Core Profiling and Scratch Testing for
the Study of Unconventional Reservoirs". I want to improve my vocabulary via it.
attenuation number
phrase
Attenuation is a general term that refers to any reduction in the strength of a signal.
Example: CT scanning provides a quantitative
evaluation of the X-ray attenuation number
ru: Число затухания
Core
Noun
a cylindrical sample of rock, ice, or other material obtained by boring with a hollow drill.
Example: Core analysis provides the essential information necessary for the characterization and
development of hydrocarbon reservoirs.
ru: керн
dictate
Verb
state or order authoritatively.
Example: Dictate the sampling methodology used.
ru: диктовать
issues
Noun
An important topic or problem for debate or discussion.
Example: One of the most significant issues in unconventional reservoirs, particularly in tight
gas/oil reservoirs and gas/oil shales, is their heterogeneity and anisotropy.
ru: Вопросы
thermal profiling
phrase
A thermal profile is a complex set of time-temperature data typically associated with the measurement of thermal temperatures
Example: These features of thermal profiling combined with established strong correlations
between thermal and cross-dipole sonic logging data
