PETROBOWL UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
LACT Unit
Answer:
This system provides for the automatic measurement, sampling, and transfer of oil from the lease location
into a pipeline.
Question:
charged zone
Answer:
A formation interval that has become overpressured by the injection of drilling or treatment fluids

bridge
Answer:
A wellbore obstruction caused by a buildup of material such as scale, wellbore fill or cuttings that can
restrict access.
Question:
Cement Squeeze
Answer:
The process of using pump pressure to injecft cement into a problematic void space at a desired location in
a well.
