摘要:
Some examples of monitoring hydrocarbon reservoirs using induced polarization effect includes inducing polarization in a subterranean zone using an induced polarization fluid. The subterranean zone includes first formations and second formations. A quantity of hydrocarbons in the first formations is greater than quantity of hydrocarbons in the second formations. The induced polarization data is obtained from the subterranean zone. A portion of the induced polarization data from the first formations is different from a portion of the induced polarization data from the second formations. The second formations in the subterranean zone are identified based on the obtained induced polarization data

A kit for non-invasively determining the presence of non-electrically conductive plumbing in a residence includes an electrical resistance measuring device having a main body and a resistance measuring circuit disposed therein and a display for indicating the value of the resistance measured by the resistance measuring circuit. The kit further includes at least two test probes which are in electrical communication with the resistance measuring circuit of the device. In a method for determining the presence of non-electrically conductive plumbing in the residence using the kit, one of the test probes is connected to an exposed portion of electrically conductive piping and the other is connected to a grounded conductor. When a low measured resistance is observed, as indicated by the device, the operator determines that the residence does not have non-electrically conductive plumbing. When a high measured resistance is observed, the operator determines that non-electrically conductive plumbing is present.

Methods are provided for determining values of a pore cementation exponent m and/or a saturation exponent n for locations in a formation having similar petrophysical properties. Formation porosity, formation water saturation, and an apparent cementation exponent mn are obtained for the locations and their values are utilized to find the exponents. In one embodiment, the apparent cementation exponent and the formation water saturation are obtained from a dielectric logging tool.

A current to be applied to a ground is defined as the sum of two sinusoidal waves having first and second frequency components. A signal to be used at the time of synchronous detection is defined as a difference between the sinusoidal waves having the first and second frequency components. As a result, a substance in the ground, and the position and depth of the substance can be specified with high accuracy.

摘要:
A line locating device and method that is capable of determining the location of a line even when a significant amount of transmitted signal is coupled to neighboring lines. A device according to this invention includes a transmitter that couples a transmitted signal onto a metal line where the transmitted signal is a first signal having a carrier frequency modulated with second signal of a lower frequency. The device also includes a receiver that receives a received signal from the metal line and evaluates the signal in terms of period and polarity to determine an incoming signal or an outgoing signal. The receiver addresses an appropriate signaling unit in response to the incoming signal or the outgoing signal.
