Abstract

The invention relates to a method of characterizing and of quantifying carbon from a superficial deposit, wherein a sample of the deposit is subjected to heating in an inert atmosphere, the sample residue is subjected to heating in an oxidizing atmosphere, and quantities of HC, CO and CO2 released during heating, from which standard parameters TOC and MinC, and a ratio between mineral carbon and total carbon of the sample are determined, are measured. If the ratio is non-zero, the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and of a percentage of TOC ranging between 4 and 12%, and the mineral carbon content is equal to MinC minus this percentage of TOC. If the ratio is zero, the mineral carbon content is zero and the organic carbon content is equal to the sum of TOC and MinC.

Abstract

The invention is a method for determining uncertainties of a property of a sedimentary basin, comprising determining realizations of a spatial distribution of the property for combinations of uncertain parameters of a stratigraphic simulation or of a basin simulation, applying a principal component analysis to the realizations, and determining an approximate analytical model of the spatial distribution of the property by constructing an approximate analytical model for a selection of components whose sum of eigenvalues is greater than a predefined threshold. The approximate analytical model is iteratively improved by determining, at each iteration, at least one additional combination of uncertain parameters by adaptive sequential planning applied to the approximate analytical models of the selected components taken in descending order. The uncertainties of the properties are thereafter determined from the approximate analytical model.

Abstract

The invention is a method of constructing a wind farm from a predefined number of wind turbines in a predetermined space. This method comprises two discrete distributions (RD1, RD2), one for the wind speed and one for the wind direction, and a first discrete grid (RD3) of the predetermined space. The method also comprises the probability of occurrence (Prob) of each discrete wind speed value in each discrete wind direction. This method uses a first wind turbine arrangement in the predetermined space, then the position of the wind turbines is modified, one by one (i), by determining discrete positions (PDP_i) around the position to be modified. The position selected (Pos_i) is the one allowing the annual energy produced by the wind farm to be maximized.

Abstract

The invention is a method for determining wind speed components by using a placed LiDAR sensor (1). For this method, the wind speed components are first approximated by using the signals from the LiDAR sensor (1). These approximations are used in a wind signal model, and then used in a non-stationary Kalman filter (KAL), to construct filtered measurement signals. The filtered measurement signals are then used to reconstruct (REC) the wind speed components.

Abstract

The present invention is a method for predicting a swell-resulting characteristic for a floating system. The method updates (MAJ) a spectral model (MSH) of the swell to form a swell prediction model (MPR). This model is applied to real-time measurements (MES) to predict the swell-resulting characteristic (pred).

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated method for thermal conversion and indirect combustion of a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock in a redox chemical loop for producing hydrocarbon streams. The heavy hydrocarbon feedstock (1) is brought into contact with inert particles (2) in a thermal conversion zone (100). Thermal conversion in the absence of hydrogen, water vapour and a catalyst produces a first gaseous effluent of hydrocarbon compounds (4) and coke, which effluent is deposited on the inert particles (5). The latter is then burned in a redox chemical loop (200) in the presence of oxygen-carrying solid particles (6). The inert particles thus flow between the thermal conversion zone (100) and a reduction zone (300) of the chemical loop while the oxygen-carrying solid particles flow between the oxidation (400) and reduction zones (300) of the chemical loop.
