The oil and gas industry uses many jargons, acronyms and abbreviations. Obviously, this list is not anywhere near exhaustive or definitive, but this should be the most comprehensive list anywhere. Mostly coming from user contributions, it is contextual and is meant for indicative purposes only. It should not be relied upon for anything but general information.
For example, a person who eats approximately 2,000 calories per day should take in about 250 grams of carbohydrates (2,000 divided by 2 = 1,000 and 1,000 divided by 4 = 250).
Your minimum carbohydrate needs are 130 grams per day, which is the recommended dietary allowance, or RDA, for carbohydrates, according to the Institute of Medicine. If youâre pregnant or nursing, your carb RDA is 175 grams or 210 grams per day, respectively. Most athletes require additional carbohydrates.
