Bystrinskoye Oil Field
The Bystrinskoye Oil Field is a large oil and gas-condensate field near Surgut in Western Siberia, Russia, discovered in 1964 and operated by Surgutneftegas, producing over 150 million tonnes.
C-rate
The C-rate is a normalized measure of the current at which a battery is charged or discharged, expressed as a multiple of its rated capacity in ampere-hours.
C1 cash cost
C1 cash cost is a mining metric measuring the direct cash cost per unit of producing a mine's principal metal, usually US dollars per pound of copper.
C4-FN gas mixture
C4-FN gas mixture is an insulating and arc-quenching gas blending a small share of fluoronitrile C₄F₇N with CO₂ to replace sulfur hexafluoride in high-voltage switchgear.
Cà Mau wind farm
The Cà Mau wind farm, also called Ca Mau 1, is a 350 MW intertidal wind power complex of four plants in Cà Mau Province, at Vietnam's southern tip.
Ca Tam Oil Field
Ca Tam Oil Field (mỏ Cá Tầm), also known as Sturgeon or Beluga, is an offshore oil field in Vietnam's Cuu Long basin, producing first oil in 2019.
Cabaca South East Oil Field
Cabaca South East is a deepwater oil field in Block 15/06 offshore Angola, discovered in 2010 and brought on stream in February 2017 through the Armada Olombendo FPSO.
Caballo Coal Mine
Caballo Coal Mine is an active surface coal mine in Campbell County, Wyoming, owned by Peabody Energy and producing about 11 million tons of coal per year.
Cabimas Oil Field
The Cabimas Oil Field is an onshore oil field on the northeast shore of Lake Maracaibo in Zulia state, Venezuela, discovered in 1917 and part of the Bolivar Coastal Complex.
Cabinda Oil and Gas Field
The Cabinda oil and gas field is a group of producing offshore fields in shallow waters off Cabinda province, Angola, operated by Chevron in concession Block 0 since first oil in 1968.
Cable ampacity
Cable ampacity, a contraction of ampere capacity, is the maximum continuous current a power cable can carry without overheating its insulation, and it depends on the installation environment.
Cable burial
Cable burial is the practice of burying submarine cables in the seabed to protect them from anchors and fishing gear, usually with a sea plow towed behind a cable ship.
Cable cleat
A cable cleat is a device attached to a mounting surface that secures cables at intervals and, where the manufacturer declares it, resists electromechanical forces during a short circuit.
Cable condition monitoring
Cable condition monitoring is the measurement of electrical, thermal, and mechanical quantities on power cables in service, detecting insulation degradation and developing faults so maintenance can be scheduled before failure.
Cable crossing
A cable crossing is a point where a power cable route passes beneath or over an obstacle it cannot run alongside, such as a road, railway, waterway, or another cable.
Cable drum
A cable drum, also called a cable reel, is a cylindrical spool that electrical cable is wound onto for transport, storage, and controlled pay-off during installation.
Cable fault location
Cable fault location is the process of pinpointing where an underground electrical cable has failed, so crews can excavate and repair one spot instead of replacing the whole run.
Cable induced voltage
Cable induced voltage is a voltage induced on a power cable's sheath, screen, or armor by electromagnetic coupling with load currents, and managed through sheath bonding design.
Cable joint
A cable joint, or cable splice, connects separate lengths of power cable and restores the full construction, conductor, insulation, field control, and screen continuity, but is a leading failure point in underground networks.
Cable laying vessel
A cable laying vessel, also called a cable ship or cable layer, is a specialized ship that installs and repairs submarine fiber-optic and high-voltage power cables on the seabed.
Cable recycling
Cable recycling is the recovery of copper, aluminum, and plastics such as PVC from end-of-life insulated wire and power and communication cables, driven chiefly by the high value of the metal content.
Cable sheath earthing
Cable sheath earthing, also called sheath bonding or grounding, is the practice of earthing a power cable's metallic sheath at chosen points, balancing circulating-current losses against standing-voltage hazards through schemes like cross-bonding.
Cable termination
A cable termination is an accessory fitted to the end of an insulated power cable so the conductor can be safely connected to switchgear, transformers, or overhead lines.
Cable trench
A cable trench is an excavated channel in which electrical power or communication cables are laid and then backfilled, the standard pathway for underground circuits.
Cable-in-conduit conductor
The cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) is an internally cooled superconducting cable, with strands inside a steel jacket cooled by forced helium flow, chosen for ITER in 1993.
Cactus II Oil Pipeline
The Cactus II Oil Pipeline is a crude oil pipeline carrying Permian Basin crude from West Texas to Corpus Christi, which entered service in 2019.
Cactus II Pipeline
The Cactus II Pipeline is a crude oil pipeline in Texas carrying Permian Basin crude from Wink to Ingleside with a capacity of 670,000 barrels per day.
Cactus Lake Basman-Bakken Oil Pool
The Cactus Lake Basman-Bakken Oil Pool is a heavy-oil pool in west-central Saskatchewan, Canada, discovered in 1974, producing commingled oil from the Bakken Formation and overlying Mannville sands.
Cactus Oil Pipeline
The Cactus Oil Pipeline is a crude oil pipeline system in Texas moving Permian Basin crude from West Texas to the Corpus Christi area, operated by Plains All American Pipeline.
Cadmium telluride
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a semiconductor compound of cadmium and tellurium used in thin-film solar cells and X-ray and gamma-ray detectors, the second most common photovoltaic technology after silicon.
