PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT EFFECTS ON GAS MEASUREMENT The drill bit penetrates a rock formation thousands of feet below the surface of the earth, a steel casing is slid into the hole, and perforations are made to the casing that reach into the surrounding rock. At that point, an escape route is created for anything in the formation that can be released to…
