We do have a process to approximate deletion which we follow only in rare cases where the DOI has been genuinely created in error, and most crucially, if the…

Distributed optical fibre sensors are established tools in the energy industry, finding many applications for production optimisation and integrity monitoring. Recently, a new class of instrument, the Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS), has been launched which adds seismic imaging to the list of energy industry applications. In this paper, we describe one such distributed acoustic sensor…

In the petroleum industry, the first applications of geostatistical methods appeared with the use of the kriging technique for mapping horizon depths, seismic velocities, layer thicknesses or petrophysical properties such as porosity or permeability (Haas and Viallix 1976). The maps obtained were then used as input to the calculation of volumes of hydrocarbons in place,…
