    摘要: This invention relates to a method and system for the three-dimensional reconstruction of material properties of a target using remotely located physical sensors using deep learning artificial intelligence. Utilizing the special technique disclosed here, the method provides an order of magnitude improvement in computational speed and memory requirements over current state-of-the-art artificial intelligence-based systems. The improvement in accuracy and resolution obtained enables high resolution imaging of buried infrastructure using above ground sensors mounted on drones and other devices. This makes it feasible to perform several first order inspection tasks related to pipeline health, corrosion, integrity, and others that are currently only possible using inline inspection tools such magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and ultrasonic (UT) sensors or via deployment of fiber optic sensors.

    摘要: Installation for producing fluid such as crude oil having a floating support having at least two tanks, an undersea bottom-to-surface connection pipe having a first pipe portion on the sea bottom from a well head to the bottom end of a second pipe portion at the floating support, a first auxiliary pipe for transporting gas extending from the floating support to the bottom end of the second pipe, and a plurality of valves for isolating or putting into communication the first auxiliary pipe, for isolating or putting into communication the first production pipe portion and the second production pipe portion, end to end, and suitable for isolating or putting into communication the proximal end of the first production pipe portion and the bottom end either of a fourth auxiliary pipe rising directly to the surface, or a bottom portion of the first auxiliary pipe.

    摘要: A subsea line clamp assembly (1) has a body (10) having an axis and a clamp member (50), assembled in segments around a subsea line (3), and tethered to a subsea anchor (5). The clamp member (50) is movably located within the body (10). The inner surface of the body (10) and the outer surface of the clamp member (50) have respective tapered portions as part of teeth (32, 72) arranged to inter-engage. Adjacent teeth (32, 72) may be separated by axis-parallel portions. The clamping force on the subsea line (30) can be maintained at a consistent clamping force throughout the service life of the subsea line (3), despite the actions of creep and compression acting to reduce the outer diameter of the line (3).
