What do candlesticks, christmas trees, pigs and slugs have in common?

A christmas tree is an assembly of valves, spools, pressure gauges and chokes fitted to the wellhead of a completed well to control production. Christmas trees are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, such as low- or high-pressure capacity and single- or multiple-completion capacity.
A pig is a spheroid implement used to displace liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas pipelines. They are also called signaling and batching pigs.
A slug is a volume of mud that is more dense than the mud in the drillpipe and wellbore annulus
Candlesticks are a Japanese charting system which maps the open- high-low-and close of periodic price movements. A box is drawn around the open and close, and painted white if the close is above the open, and black if the close is below the open. The boxes and their little heads and tails look like candles and their wicks. Candlestick studies are full of exotic terms like Morning Star and Dark Cloud Cover; these describe how the black and white candles look, and can be interpreted as buy or sell signals.
I hope this helps,
Dad

I was thinking it must be some wild Scottish holiday tradition that you'll be participating in. But I wasn't sure I wanted to hear the details.

You've got it all except for the candlestick. A candlestick is a vertical pipeline that runs from the choke valve at the outlet of a well to the process headers.
It's just crazy business with a bunch of funny terms.

Here locally, there is a term Soap Stick that I thought might be your Candle Stick. Soap Sticks look just like large dipped candles. They are dropped down gas wells to break the surface tension of water that plugs a well and stops the gas flow. The heat and pressure from the well melt the soap causing it to mix with the water. It then forms bubbles that are forced from the well by gas pressure. The resulting soapy solution is filtered from the gas. Flow from the well is restored.
