Monitoring of water seepage from a reservoir using resistivity and self polarization methods: case history of the Petergoph fountain water supply system
Authors K. Titov, V. Loukhmanov and A. PotapovPetergoph, a suburb of Saint-Petersburg, was historically planned as a fountain centre similar to Versailles. The Petergoph fountain water supply system consists of artificial reservoirs formed by dams. Continued supply depends on the water level in the reservoir and the integrity of the dam. We used electrical methods for monitoring the stability of the reserve pond dam in this water supply system. Ogilvy et al.(1969) and Bogoslowsky & Ogilvy (1970a, b) used geophysical methods to investigate water leakages from reservoirs but did not use continuous observations. Their results therefore give only snapshots of the spatial distribution of dam parameters and do not characterize their temporal variation. We use two complete series of geophysical observations to monitor changes in the hydrogeological regime over a spring month, at the time of annual flood and just after.

Acoustic impedance interpretation for hydrocarbon extent, offshore Brunei Darussalam
Authors S. Ronghe and P. V. TrungThis study performed seismic inverse modelling and interpretation of the acoustic impedance volume to decipher the vertical and lateral limits of gas saturation in two sands in a field currently under development. The two sands, seperated by about 350 m, were chosen for their contrasting characters (Table 1): a shallower Sand 1 strongly defined on seismic data, having higher average thickness, porosity and gas saturation at well locations; and a poorer quality Sand 2 with lower average gas saturation, not as clearly defined on seismic data, occurring at about the start of overpressured depths. Hence this research aimed to study the effectiveness and limitations of seismic inverse modelling and acoustic impedance interpretation on two reservoir sands having markedly differing characteristics.
