    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for optimizing a modeling of flows within a reservoir for optimization of oil/gas production, by receiving a first time step; receiving a flow condition for at least one well connected to the reservoir, selecting data in the control data that is applicable to the first time step; then determining at least one quality value based on the selected data. If a quality criterion is not met based on the quality value, determining a second time step within the first time step and reiterating step /c/ to /e/ with the second time step as the first time step. If the quality criterion is met based on the quality value, performing a modeling of flows within the reservoir based on said first time step.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a karstic region modified by karstification phenomena. This method comprises, from a geological model, determining a seed cell and a target cell in that model. If a distance between the seed cell and the target cell is above a given distance, it is possible to update the seed cell with a bifurcation cell based at least on the coordinates of the seed cell, the coordinates of the target cell, a distance distribution, an angular distribution, and to re-iterate the test. Based on that bifurcation cells, trajectory is computed and cells of that trajectory is updated with new cell characteristics.

    Abstract: A subsoil region is represented using a grid having columns of cells arranged in an array of horizontal positions. The cells of a column are delineated by geological layering of the subsoil region. The method, used for estimating elastic parameters in the subsoil region, comprises obtaining seismic traces and performing seismic inversion for the columns of cells. The seismic inversion for a column comprises selecting a set of elastic parameter values that minimizes a cost function regardless of statistical distribution of the elastic parameter values. The set of elastic parameter values is selected among a plurality of candidate sets of elastic parameter values each having values of elastic parameters for the cells of the column.

    Abstract: Abstract Disclosed is a method for characterising the evolution of a subsurface volume over time. The method comprises providing first and second surveys of the subsurface volume. Each survey comprises seismic data acquired by transmitting seismic signals into the subsurface volume and subsequently detecting some or all of the seismic signals after reflection within the subsurface. The first seismic data of the first survey corresponds to a first time and the second seismic data of the second survey corresponds to a second time. At least some of the first seismic data and the second seismic data is obtained with a non-zero offset. An inversion is performed to obtain estimates of changes having occurred between the first time and the second time in terms of at least one model parameter; wherein for the inversion: the first seismic data and the second seismic data is not processed to be equivalent to zero-offset data prior to the inversion; and it is assumed that the path taken by each received seismic signal between its transmission and reception is the same for the first survey and the second survey

    Abstract: The present invention relates to method for processing an image, said image representing a rock sample. The method comprises receiving said image; for each current threshold value in a plurality of threshold values determining a threshold image, the threshold image having pixels associated with a first color value or a second color value, the determination of the threshold image being based on the received image and the current threshold; and for each current connected set of pixels associated with the first color value in the threshold image, determining a connected volume or a connected surface area of said current connected set of pixels. In addition, the method comprises determining numbers of connected sets of pixels associated with the first color value for a plurality of connected volumes or connected surface areas and for a plurality of thresholds.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for insulating sub-soil comprising mechanically destructuring the sub-soil, injecting an insulating material into the destructured sub-soil, and mixing the sub-soil and the insulating material. The thermal conductivity of the insulating material is strictly lower than the thermal conductivity of the sub-soil.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to gas chromatography with capillary column and more particularly to a plate for gas chromatograph with a capillary column, a capillary device and a gas chromatograph comprising such capillary device. At least one face of the plate is etched with a furrow forming a first part of the capillary column. The capillary device 4 comprises at least two planes closely stacked with each other to form the capillary column of the gas chromatograph. The capillary device thus provided has advantageously reduced dimensions with respect to a laboratory gas chromatograph and a capillary column with conventional dimensions with respect to a laboratory gas chromatograph.
