Which of the following form of corrosion occurs due to concentration difference in a component?

A) Uniform B) Galvanic
C) Inter-granular D) Stress
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Inter-granular

Explanation: The form of corrosion occurs due to the concentration difference in a component is known as Inter-granular corrosion. It is also known as an intergranular attack. In this type of corrosion, the boundaries of the object under consideration are more susceptible to corrosion.

Q:

By using which of the log we can easily differentiate the bed boundary between shale and sandstone?

A) Sonic log B) Gamma-ray log
C) Neutron porosity log D) MSFL
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Gamma-ray log

Explanation: Gamma-ray log can be used to easily differentiate the bed boundary between shale and sandstone. If the gamma ray count is more then it confirms shaly formation otherwise a non-shaly formation. The sonic log gives sonic porosity. The neutron porosity log gives neutron porosity. MSFL is a micro spherically focused log that is used to get Flushed zone resistivity.

What is the surface tension of 15% HCl?

A) 172 dynes/cm B) 712 dynes/cm
C) 172 dynes/cm D) 72 dynes/cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 72 dynes/cm

Explanation: The surface tension of 15% HCl is 72 dynes/cm. Surfactants should be used on all acid jobs to reduce the surface or interfacial tension. Acid stimulation is the treatment of a reservoir formation with fluid containing acid.
