  • Patent number: 5520046
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the chemical logging of a liquid and to an installation for performing the process. An object of the invention is to develop a process which makes it possible to carry out precise cartographies of chemical elements present in a liquid. This object is achieved with the aid of a process which includes performing a continuous sampling or removal of the liquid to be analyzed by way of a pipe moved progressively in the interior of the liquid. The pipe is provided with a pump which makes it possible to return the liquid to the surface, perform analyses on the samples and calculate for each analysis result the depth at which the sampling operation was carried out. The invention is more particularly used in boreholes, wells or oceanography.
