If pressure bleeds off there is clearly a problem with the pressure integrity of the shoe, However, industry practice dictates that a positive test, that is no pressure drop, is not diagnostic, simply because the reservoir pressure is sufficient to retain the pressure being applied.

They decline significantly from one year to the next because each barrel of oil taken from a reservoir reduces the pressure within the field, leaving less force available to push the next barrel of oil up the well.

The air was held in a reservoir and when the pressure reached 100 PSI, a modified irrigation valve was triggered to launch a tennis ball that had been stuffed down the barrel.

Still, the reservoir behind the dam was emptied to relieve pressure on the structure, the state-sponsored Chinese business news magazine Caijing reported.

The well is gushing because of the pressure the oil is under in its reservoir 4, 300 metres below the sea bed.

This pressure response has to be associated with the reservoir flowing hydrocarbons and again at this point kill operations should have been initiated by the BP engineers.

And following the intersection of the well bore with those relief wells, they will put heavy mud down there to suppress the pressure of the oil coming up from the reservoir, put a cement plug in and effectively do what I would call a bottom kill, as opposed to the top kill, which was not successful a couple of weeks ago.

This is the same gas responsible for recent coal mine accidents, and it can infiltrate the water reservoir if there is too much pumping, which creates a pressure draw down.

If there ever were a U.S. president well-positioned to pressure an Israeli leader, it is Clinton, who in his final term has a solid reservoir of support both in Israel and within the American Jewish community.
