Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing/monitoring production of agricultural raw materials useful for the production of alcoholic beverages, as well as the production, storage, ageing, consumption, quality, authenticity, traceability and/or selling price of alcoholic beverages comprises: (a) collecting two samples of the alcoholic beverage in an inert container sealed with an inert stopper; (b) assigning data on the alcoholic beverage to each sample; (c) storing at least some of the samples collected in step (a), under specified conditions; (d) analysing each sample to determine at least one mineral profile, preferably metallic; (e) forming a database relating to the samples and resulting from step (b) and step (d); (h) processing these data by statistical analysis, preferably using AI; and (i) using the processed data to manage/monitor the entire supply chain of the alcoholic beverage until its consumption. A device for implementing steps (a) and (c) of the method is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of tracer fluids, more generally, that of aqueous liquids, intended to be injected under pressure in an oil reservoir, for example from an injection well up to a production well. The object of the invention is to propose a new method of study of a solid medium, i.e. an oil reservoir, by diffusion of a liquid (i.e. injection waters) containing tracers, through said solid medium, which is simple to implement and economical and which remedies the drawbacks of the known tracers for injection waters of oil reservoirs.

Abstract: The fluid tracers according to the invention have the advantage of producing a memory effect fluorescent signal, that is to say a signal modified as a function of the physico-chemical conditions encountered in the medium through which the nanoparticles pass after injection into the geological underground area. The analysis of fluorescent signals in the fluids collected after diffusion makes it possible to deduce therefrom information on the characteristics of the oil reservoir.

Abstract: This invention relates to the development of nanoparticles, which can be used as tracers, in order to track the movement of fluids injected into an oil reservoir. The injected fluids diffuse through a solid geological medium which constitutes the oil reservoir, thus making it possible to study this latter by following the path of the injected fluids. The objective is in particular to monitor the flows between the injection well(s) and the production well(s) and/or to evaluate the volumes of oil in reserve and water in the reservoir and ultimately to optimize oil exploration and exploitation.
