Patent CA-2701797-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLIAMS JONATHAN
IPC: A61B5/0215
Filed: 2008-10-17
Abstract: A method for performing an in-vivo calibration of a blood pressure sensor 40 that is associated with an in-vivo balloon system. The method involves monitoring a patient's blood pressure by observing the system gas pressure while at the same time monitoring the patient's blood pressure through the sensor. The blood pressure measurements obtained by monitoring the system gas pressure are used as reference, or 'true, ' blood pressure measurements, and an 'offset' is determined between the reference blood pressure measurements and the blood pressure measurements obtained through the sensor.  The offset can be stored in a memory 42, which may also store sensor sensitivity data. The offset and/or sensitivity data may be used to adjust future measurements obtained from the sensor, thereby generating calibrated sensor measurements.

Abstract: A method for enhancing oil recovery from reservoirs is described. The method includes partially recharging zones of pore space in a reservoir that has been previously waterflooded to extract oil, in order to obtain increased ultimate oil recovery by re-waterflooding the recharged zones. The recharging may be achieved by either reinjection of oil or by change in injection scheme, such as changing an oil producing well to a water injection well. This procedure of recharging with oil followed by waterflooding may be repeated. Application of the present method to increase recovery from reservoirs producing dry (water-free) oil to mature reservoirs which produce at high water-to-oil ratios is anticipated.
