Title: Evaluating fluid saturation using a triple water model
Inventor: LITTLE JEFF
IPC: G01V3/28
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A method of evaluating water saturation characteristics in a geological formation that is penetrated by a borehole and includes injection fluid introduced into the formation by an external process performed upon the borehole is provided. The method includes conducting electromagnetic induction measurements (202) indicative of resistivity values of the formation. A value of total porosity for the formation is also obtained (204). Then, the method calls for defining fractional volumes (206) for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water in the formation, wherein the free water volume accounts for injection fluid introduced into the formation. The method also calls for defining values of conductivity (210,212) for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water, wherein the free water conductivity is determined from the conductivity of the injection fluid. Finally, water saturation in the formation is determined from a relationship between total porosity and conductivity values for the formation, and conductivities and fractional volumes for each of clay bound water, free water, and irreducible water. A Triple Water Equation is used to determine the water saturation (216).

Title: Synchronising artificial light sources with camera image capture
Inventor: AMPHLETT DAVID RICHARD
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2005-12-16
Abstract: To produce a video signal from an artificially lit scene, video fields or frames are captured at a rate such that a frame interval exists that relates exclusively to an individual field or frame. A shuttering device is deployed such that light is received for a capturing portion of each frame interval, with a light source energised in synchronisation to provide the artificial illumination. The light source is synchronised to the shutter so that the light source is energised substantially during the capture portion and not energised for part of the idle portion that falls within the frame intervals but does not form part of the capture portion. Lights 404-408 may comprise LEDs of different colours; energising different LEDs in an array can produce a colour gamut without a colour filter gel. The camera frame sync signal can control light energisation, which may have varying duration. Lights may be camera mounted.
