Seismic Inversion and Simulated Annealing Inversion

Seismic Inversion is something which has come on leaps and bounds in the 40 years it has been a viable geophysical process. Whereas the thought of seismic inversion some years ago was a complimentary one, the process is very much gaining relevance in geology and petrophysics circles.

Nowadays, Seismic Inversion, Simulated Annealing Inversion, and Coloured Inversion are processes which are utilised in oil and gas explorations throughout the world to great effect. There are a number of oil and gas exploration companies as well as drilling companies such as Robertson Geologging from North Wales which make good use of this scientific principle.

Robertson Geologging sell all manner of logging equipment such as drills and probes, with their own operations throughout the Americas, Asia and of course Europe, and utilise scientific principles such as depth conversion and seismic inversion in their day-to-day operations.

You might wonder just how seismic inversion as well as simulated annealing inversion can help companies such as Robertson, which are considered far more industrial than scientific. When most think to the physical equipment used when wells are drilled, the software behind the hardware is imperative to so much – safety, productivity, as well as the task itself.

Digging wells, large or small, is a costly and dangerous exercise, and knowing exactly what is underneath the surface can be the difference between a company’s success and failure. Many large and small oil companies have entered administration because their prospects haven’t lived up to expectations.

Software is what allows companies such as Robertson to ascertain and to understand the structure of the earth below, as well as provides insight what quantities of compound lie underneath. Revolutions relating to seismic inversion such as simulated annealing inversion and coloured inversion allow seismic inversion to be more accurate than ever before, to enable oil and gas exploration companies the confidence they need for their projects across the world to be a success.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly.  Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
