    摘要: The invention relates to a method of analyzing a rock sample, comprising:—placing a rock sample (2) containing a first fluid into a cell (1);—feeding the cell (1) with at least one second fluid and withdrawing said second fluid from the cell (1), leaving the rock sample (2) immersed in the second fluid; and—measuring an amount of first fluid spontaneously released from the rock sample (2). The invention also relates to an apparatus adapted for implementing this method.

    摘要: An improved solution for estimating the flow rate of a fluid in a line of a hydrocarbon production installation, during production. Systems and methods for producing hydrocarbons on a line of a hydrocarbon production installation can include at least two devices adapted each for providing an estimate of the flow rate of a fluid in the line based on respective data. The devices include at least one metric counter, and the data relative to the provision of an estimate of the flow rate by the metric counter include a measurement done by at least one sensor of the metric counter on the fluid. Further, data can be determined relative to the provision of an estimate of the flow rate by the devices, and a DVR process involving the determined data, the reconciliation being conditioned by at least a substantial equality between the estimates of the flow rate of the fluid.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for battery modelling. The method includes acquiring battery information from a sensor attached to a battery, the battery information including at least a terminal voltage and a load current; classifying, the battery information as effective data or ineffective data based on a phase of a battery cycle during which the battery information is acquired; identifying one or more parameters of the circuit model associated with the battery based on the effective data; and generating an estimation of a state of the battery using the circuit model having the one or more parameters identified using the effective data. Further, a circuit model is identified using effective data.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of modelling a subsurface volume. The method comprises: discretising said subsurface volume to define a grid comprising an array of cells (1, 2, 3), each cell being defined by cell faces, each cell having attributed thereto one or more high order properties (A,B); dividing each cell into a plurality of sub-cells, said plurality of sub-cells comprising: a plurality of central sub-cells adjacent a centre of the cell, and a plurality of peripheral sub-cells, each adjacent a corresponding cell face; for each of said central sub-cells, and for each of said peripheral sub-cells for which the cell adjacent to that peripheral sub-cell has attributed thereto the same one or more high order properties as that of the cell in which said peripheral sub-cell is comprised, attributing one or more low order property values (c, d, e, x, y, z) in accordance with the high order property attributed to the cell in which said peri-pheral sub-cell is comprised; for each of said peripheral sub-cells for which the cell adjacent to that peripheral sub-cell has attributed thereto a different one or more high order properties than that of the cell in which said peripheral sub-cell is comprised, attributing one or more low order property values (c, d, e, x, y, z) in accordance with the high order property attributed to the adjacent cell; and determining one or more low order property values for each cell based on the one or more low order property values attributed to each cell's component sub-cells.
