It's where the pressure (exerted by mud hydrostatic) in the wellbore is lower than the pressure exerted by the hydrocarbons. I read that in the Macondo well they had to test the casing (the pipe that is casing the wellbore) and cement to whether they can withstand the pressure of the formation (hydrocarbons layer).

IE is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. As atomic radius increases, the valence electrons get farther from

Bond [772]

Answer:

The bigger the atom the lesser the ability of the atom to hold on to its valence electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be looked at as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost energy level. As an atom gets bigger, the outer shell gets further and further from the positive nucleus. this means that electrons that are in the outer energy level become less held (attracted) by the nucleus because of distance and shielding of the attractive forces by the electrons in the lower energy levels. This means that as an atom becomes bigger, its ability to hold on to its outer electrons lessens.
