Abstract: Methods for enhancing production from underground "tight" formations. A first method comprises creating a horizontal injection wellbore and a parallel collection wellbore and upwardly-extending fissures therefrom. The injection wellbore is supplied with pressurized fluid which flows into injection fissures and drives reservoir fluids within the formation to the remaining (alternately) spaced adjacent collection fissures thereby allowing reservoir fluids to flow downwardly for collection in the production wellbore. A second method comprises drilling only a single wellbore and moving a tubing having a packer at a distal end thereof to allow injection of fluid into fissures on one side of the packer and collection of fluids via fissures on the other side of the packer. Third and fourth methods employ only a single wellbore and alternatingly spaced injection and collection fractures. Dual or multi-channel tubing is used to allow both injection of fluids and collection of fluids using a single wellbore.

Abstract: In a surface potential distribution measuring device (1) for an electric field reduction system (3) of a rotating electric machine, by using a Pockels crystal (23) between a laser (21) and the surface (test location (L)) of the electric field reduction system (3), the light intensity of a laser beam reflected on a mirror (24) provided between the Pockels crystal (23) and the test location (L) corresponds to an output voltage that is the voltage difference between one end surface of the Pockels crystal (23) and the other end surface thereof. Even when an inverter pulse voltage is generated, by using a light detector (25) having a frequency band capable of following the high-frequency components of the inverter pulse voltage, the light intensity is detected by the light detector (25). Therefore, from the light intensity (output voltage), the surface potential distribution measuring device (1) can measure the surface potential of the electric field reduction system (3) in which an inverter pulse voltage is assumed to be generated.
