Term Definition
Acid gas removal unit A process unit that separates hydrogen sulfide and/or carbon dioxide from sour natural gas using liquid or solid absorbents or membrane separators. Also commonly referred to as a sweetening unit.

API gravity A specific gravity scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for measuring the relative density of various petroleum liquids, expressed in degrees. The formula for determining API gravity is:
API gravity = (141.5/SG at 60°F) - 131.5, where SG is the specific gravity of the fluid.
Artificial lift A wellbore deliquification technique that adds energy to the fluid column in a wellbore. Artificial-lift systems use a range of operating principles and include surface compression, sucker rod pumps, progressive cavity pumps, electric submersible pumps, jet pumps, and gas lift.

Barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) A unit of energy equal to 5.8-million British thermal units (5.8 MMBtu) based on the approximate energy released be burning one barrel of crude oil. For the purposes of this information collection request, you may use 1 BOE = 1 barrel of crude oil produced and 1 BOE = 5,800 scf of natural gas produced rather than using a direct energy conversion.
