  • Publication number: 20120022791
    Abstract: A method and system of detecting and mapping a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir includes determining ratio data for a plurality of orthogonal spectral components of naturally occurring low frequency background seismic data. The ratio data may be compared, plotted, contoured and displayed as a subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir map or a hydrocarbon potential map. The ratio data may represent a vertical spectral component of the seismic data over a horizontal spectral component of the seismic data. The subsurface hydrocarbon reservoir map may include contouring the ratio data over a geographical area associated with the seismic data.

  • Patent number: 7729862
    Abstract: A method of locating subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs includes acquiring seismic data, dividing the seismic data into time windows, applying a data transform to the seismic data having a plurality of components to obtain a smoothed frequency spectrum, selecting one or more local maxima and minima, determining a frequency product as a function of the maxima and minima in a form for display. Lower and higher ratio thresholds may be selected to further discriminate frequency product selection for display. A display or map of frequency products over a survey area may indicate the presence of subsurface fluid reservoirs.

  • Publication number: 20070282180
    Abstract: A device (100) for measuring the glucose level in a living body comprises an electrode arrangement (5, 6) to be applied to a surface of the body. The glucose level is derived from the response of the electrode arrangement (5, 6) to an electrical signal. Two temperature sensors (15, 22) are arranged at different positions within the device (100), the signals of which are used during calibration and measurements to improve the accuracy of the device. A further increase of accuracy is achieved by using an interpolation method during calibration. In addition, caused by a displacement of the device are applied. The device can also be used for a prediction of hyper- or hypoglycemia based on limits for the higher order derivatives of the glucose level.
