Patent CA-2750161-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOUCK RICHARD T
IPC: G01V3/38
Filed: 2009-12-09
Abstract: A probabilistic method for classifying observed CSEM response for a resistive anomaly to classify the response into multiple geologic categories indicative of hydrocarbon production potential. Each category is assigned a prior probability (301). For each category, conditional joint probability distributions for observed CSEM data in the anomaly region are construct-ed (303) from rock property probability distributions (302) and a quantitative relationship between rock/fluid properties and the CSEM data (304). Then, the joint probability distributions and prior probabilities for each category (305) are combined with observed data (307) and used in Bayes' Rule (306) to update the prior category probabilities (308). Seismic data may be used to sup-plement CSEM data in the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing for covering the ends of a row of rotor blades of an axial turbomachine compressor, the housing being provided with a sealing device between the blade tips and the housing. It comprises a shell 22 segmented along its circumference, each segment being fixed to the housing 12 by a series of elastomeric elements 30 in a recess 32 in the shape of a channel cut into the inner surface of the housing. In this way, in the event of misalignment of the rotor relative to the stator, the rotor blades 24 coming into contact with sections of the shell will be able to move to compensate for this misalignment while reducing the frictional forces generated by contact between the blades and the shell. In the event of alignment being re-established the segments of the shell will be able to resume their initial position because of the elastic behaviour of the elements 30.
