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).
Low carbohydrate diets are common for weight loss, but how many carbs can you eat and still lose weight? The Institute of Medicine suggests a minimum requirement of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. This amount per day is needed for the brain because the central nervous system (CNS) uses only carbohydrates for fuel. When carbohydrate intake is under 130 grams per day, carbohydrate is âmadeâ from proteins and fat in the body to send to the CNS for fuel.
