Inventor: HU LIN YING
IPC: G01V9/00
Filed: 2006-09-01
Abstract: - Méthode pour mettre à jour un modèle géologique de réservoir par intégration de données dynamiques. - On construit une carte initiale (.gamma.) de propriétés pétrophysiques à l'aide d'un simulateur géostatistique et de données statiques. Puis l'on construit un jeu initial de points pilotes graduels (PP i), ainsi qu'au moins un jeu complémentaire de points pilotes graduels (PP c). On construit alors un jeu combiné de points pilotes graduels (PP(t)) en combinant ces jeux de points pilotes graduels suivant la méthode de déformation graduelle dans laquelle au moins un paramètre de déformation est un paramètre caractéristique desdits points pilotes (position et/ou valeur). On modifie ensuite la carte initiale (.gamma.) en tenant compte des propriétés pétrophysiques et du jeu combiné de points pilotes graduels (PP(t)). Ensuite, on modifie les paramètres de déformation en fonction des données dynamiques et l'on réitère à l'étape de construction du jeu combiné jusqu'à ce qu'un critère d'arrête soit atteint. Enfin, on met à jour le modèle géologique de réservoir, en associant la carte ainsi optimisée au maillage du modèle. - Application notamment à l'exploitation de gisements pétroliers par exemple.

Patent CA-2573492-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHUI CLARENCE
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2005-08-24
Abstract: The time required for an interferometric modulator (501) to switch from a state with a collapsed cavity to a state with an open cavity or vice versa, i.e., the switch time, is decreased by decreasing the viscosity of the gas filling the cavity. The viscosity is decreased by forming at least a partial vacuum in the cavity. The partial vacuum is formed, in turn, by forming a cavity in a housing (706) holding the interferometric modulator (501). The vacuum can be generated by a vacuum pump (710). By decreasing the switch time, interferometric modulators in an array of interferometric modulators can be switched more quickly, thereby advantageously increasing the refresh rate for a display (700) having an array of interferometric modulators.
