Patent CA-2747045-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CIMOLAI MAURO
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2008-12-03
Abstract: A method for producing hydrocarbons from a region having adjacent strata divided by an impermeable or partially permeable barrier and, wherein at least one of the strata contains hydrocarbons, comprises of sufficiently heating one of the stratum to allow heat to be conducted to the hydrocarbon containing stratum and producing hydrocarbons therefrom. In one aspect, both strata contain hydrocarbons, such as bitumen, and heat is generated by a steam assisted gravity drainage process to the adjacent stratum. Heat may also be generated by in-situ combustion of hydrocarbons to preheat an adjacent stratum, or by electrical heating. Once pre--conditioned to a higher in-situ temperature, hydrocarbon production may be facilitated by diluting the target pre-heated hydrocarbon bearing stratum with solvent injection.

Abstract: A system and method may compress a digital image. A storage unit may store a dictionary having a plurality of predetermined template patterns each identified by a code. A decomposition module may divide the image into a plurality of sub-regions. A compression module may select a template pattern from the dictionary that most closely matches an image features for each sub-region. The compression module may generate a compressed data set for the image in which each sub-region is represented by a code identifying the template pattern selected therefore.  Once the data is compressed, a decompression unit may reconstruct the image. The decompression unit may use the code from the compressed data set to retrieve the template pattern from the dictionary for each sub-region and may reconstruct a full image by combining the template patterns for all of the sub-regions. An output device may display the reconstructed image.
