摘要:
An apparatus and method for estimating a parameter of interest of an earth formation involving an electromagnetic transient response of an earth formation and a two thin-sheet conductor model of the earth formation. The method may include generating an electromagnetic transient response in the earth formation, generating a signal indicative of the response, and estimating the at least one parameter of interest using the signal. The method may also include estimating a boundary distance using the at least one parameter of interest. The apparatus may include at least one antenna configured to generate the electromagnetic response in the earth formation and at least one processor configured to estimate the at least one processor based on the electromagnetic transient response.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for performing resistivity measurements of a borehole wall using a transverse octupole sensor. The sensor may be a resistivity sensor. Higher resolution is obtained with an octupole sensor than with lower-order-pole sensors. For the resistivity case, the ratio of dual-frequency measurements has reduced sensitivity to standoff.

A method and apparatus for creating a schema definition from a language-specific metamodel of a data structure written in a legacy computer language involves walking through the nodes of the metamodel, and creating corresponding schema element objects in a schema tree that is serialized to create the schema definition. The creation of the schema element objects follows rules, and permits the definition of nested data structures having conjunctive-type and disjunctive-type membership.

Inception of hydrocarbon extraction from a reservoir causes the oil-water interface to warp and cusp toward the extraction gates along a well. This invention proposes time-lapse DC/AC measurements with an array of permanently deployed sensors in order to detect and estimate the change in geometry and proximity of the oil-water interface as a result of production, and therefore as a function of time. The estimation is carried out with a parametric inversion technique whereby the shape of the oil-water interface is assumed to take the form of a three-dimensional surface describable with only a few unknown parameters. A nonlinear optimization technique is used to search for the unknown parameters such that the differences between the measured data and the numerically simulated data are minimized in a least-squares fashion with concomitant hard bound physical constraints on the unknowns. The proposed estimation procedure is robust in the presence of relatively high levels of noise and can therefore be used to anticipate deleterious water breakthroughs, as well as improve the efficiency with which the oil is produced from the reservoir.
摘要:
A novel write circuit arrangement for an EEPROM type memory system operable in response to the difference between the information stored in each addressed cell and the information to the be stored therein during a writing cycle and writing information into only those addressed cells for which a difference exists regardless of whether the difference indicates to charge or discharge the cell. The arrangement also can simultaneously charge one cell of a byte while discharging another cell of the same byte.
