Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000382

An obstruction within a wellbore or flowline that restricts the passage of fluids, leading to reduced production or complete cessation of flow.

Identifying the location and nature of a blockage is a primary objective of production testing and intervention operations.
