"Nipple Down" is not a standard term in drilling and well completion. It's likely a misunderstanding or a colloquial phrase used in a specific context.

Here are some possibilities:

  • "Nipple" in drilling refers to a short piece of pipe with threaded ends, used to connect larger sections of pipe. It's possible the phrase is referring to a connection where the nipple is facing downwards in a specific configuration.
  • "Down" might be a reference to a downhole operation, indicating the nipple is positioned within the wellbore.

To give a more accurate answer, please provide more context:

  • What is the specific context of the question? Are you referring to a specific type of well completion, drilling equipment, or operation?
  • What is the intended meaning of "Nipple Down"? What is the problem or situation you're trying to describe?

With more information, I can help you understand the term or concept you're looking for.
