Realisation

It is important to realise that knowledge of depositional processes and features in a given reservoir will be vital for the correct siting of the optimum number of appraisal and development wells, the sizing of facilities and the definition of a reservoir management policy. 

Having gathered and evaluated relevant reservoir data it is desirable to present this data in a way that allows easy visualisation of the subsurface situation. With a workstation it is easy to create a three dimensional picture of the reservoir, displaying the distribution of a variety of parameters, e.g. reservoir thickness or saturations. All realisations need to be in line with the geological model. 

The geometry and reservoir quality have a very important influence on whether horizontal wells will realise a benefit compared to a vertical well, as demonstrated by the following example. 

In order to realise such a high dynamic range, either a local compensation coil at the location of the SQUID [9] or a gradiometric excitation coil like the double-D coil have to be used. In case of the electronic compensation, the excitation field and the response of the conducting sample is compensated by a phase shifted current in an additional coil situated close to the SQUID-sensor. Due to the small size of this compensation coil (in our case, the diameter of the coil is about 1 mm), the test object is not affected by it. 

The geometric compensation by means of a gradiometric coil is realised by placing the SQUID exactly between the two halfs of the coil, in order to detect only the response of the sample. In both cases we could achieve a reduction of the excitation field at the location of the SQUID of up to 1000. Electronic and geometric compensation together leads to an improvement of six orders of magnitude in the dynamic range, compared to a system without excitation field compensation. 

By choosing the proper correlation algorithm, it is possible to realise sensitive filters for other types of defects (e.g. corrosion). Fig. 5.2 shows an example for the suppression of signals which do not exhibit the expected defect stmcture (Two parallel white lines near upper central rim portion of Fig. 5.2). The largest improvement in SNR is obtained here by using the expression (ai ai+x /ai+yj), since for a gradiometric excitation, one expects the crack response to show two maxima (a, aj+x) with a minimum (a m) in the centre (see Fig. 5.3). 

Etude et realisation de sondes pour la caracterisation non destructive par courants de Foucault de couches de cementation des aciers. Les proprietes electromagnetiques des aciers dependent de leur composition, de leurs microstructures et des contraintes appliquees. II est done naturel d essayer d utiliser les parametres electriques et magnetiques des aciers pour evaluer leur microstructure. 

II serait done ainsi facile d obtenir en temps reel sur ordinateur, I image d un defaut standard long qui est a meme de produire la variation d impedanee observee. II serait ainsi possible de realiser le controle par des mesures absolues et d eviter le recours a des defauts etalons. 

Before starting the realisation of silicium coils, we construct a simpler probe with a 27 mm long excitation coil and 16 wired coil sensors, with 1 mm diameter and 1 mm long. We cannot hope any reconstruction with such a probe, but this allows to validate the whole approach. We tried it with test tubes with longitudinal or circonferential notches, external or internal, 100 pm wide, 100%, 60%, 40%, 20% and 10% deep. Our attention has been especially focused on circonferential notches, which are difficult to detect with usual probes. For example, the measurement signals at 240 kHz standard frequency are shown figure 6 7. 

Maintenance of process installation is still a necessity to realise high process reliability. Infrared thermography is becoming more and more an useful tool for predictive maintenance in the process and electrical industry. 

This study describes one stage of a soft tool realisation, which facilitate and improve the task of the expert for x-ray image interpretation and decision-making. We are interested by tbe first four stages of this flow chart.

It is shown how phase contrast X-ray microtomography can be realised with a (commercial) polychromatic X-ray microfocus tomograph provided the source size and the resolution of the detector are sufficiently small and the distance between source and detector is sufficiently large. The technique opens perspectives for high resolution tomography of light objects... 

The comparison between the experimental and computed Bscan is realised on the segmented data (figure 3). Although the multiple reflections from the front to the backwall are not predicted, it can be concluded that, for this specific configuration, a good agreement is achieved. For all the principal echoes, the amplitude and position is correctly predicted. 

The modules form the building blocks that are assembled together with special designed mechanical components to realise the required scanner. The modules are approved according to the relevant European direetives, thus reducing tlie time, work and cost needed for approving the final scanner system. 

MFL is currently being used for the inspection of hundreds of kilometres of piping in the Oman desert, see figure 5., whereby an inspection rate of one kilometre per day is easily achieved. Try to realise what effort would have been needed if this would have been done with conventional ultrasonic wall thickness measurements. 

Certification of NDT personnel is mandatory in Belarus and is realised in compliance with CTB EH 473-95. 

NDT equipment widely used for definition of safety and quality of produets must ensure uniformity and reliability of measurements realised with them. 

It may be realised by means of definite complex of intereonneeted and interrelated common rules and norms direeted to the assurance of traceability and uniformity of measuring equipment, NDT equipment including. In another words NDT equipment must be metrologically supported. 

In testing of NDT equipment the following works shall be realised ... 

The service for calibration is not established yet in Belarus. Calibration is voluntary and is realised either by metrological service of the plant or by any authorised organisation.
