  • Patent number: 10255553
    Abstract: A device for estimating a deleted fluid consumption during a deletion phase, where said device comprises: a collection module configured to collect: a) first consumption data comprising information about the consumption of fluid from n fluid meters coming from a first group, and b) second consumption data comprising information about the consumption of fluid from m fluid meters coming from a second group, a computer analysis module which is configured for calculating, as a function of the first and second consumption data weighting coefficients ?i minimizing the distance between the fluid consumptions of the first and second groups, where i is a positive integer included between 1 and m.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4868794
    Abstract: In order to accumulate data from which the signature of an array of n interacting seismic sources 21 to 27, for instance marine seismic sources in the form of air guns, can be determined, the array is actuated and the emitted pressure wave is measured at n independent points whose positions will respect to the array are known by hydrophones 31 to 37. Data from the measured pressure wave is stored for subsequent processing to produce n equivalent signatures of the n sources taking into account the interactions therebetween. The signature of the array is then determined merely by superposing the n equivalent signatures.
