English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling

Exploratory and Appraisal Drilling 3. Development Drilling 4. Production and Transportation of Hydrocarbons.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
CONT

[...] la mise en œuvre des ressources pétrolières fait intervenir plusieurs étapes [...] La deuxième phase correspond aux campagnes de forages d'exploration nécessaires pour confirmer les potentialités détectées par la géophysique. En cas de succès, cette phase se prolonge par l'exécution de forages d'appréciation qui permettent au moyen de mesures électriques à l'intérieur des puits, d'études géophysiques fines, d'essais de production, d'évaluer la capacité de production du champ et de définir les conditions d'exploitation les plus économiques.

CONT

[...] si ces engins [barges semi-submersibles] étaient, jusqu'à présent, utilisés à peu près uniquement pour des forages d'exploration et d'appréciation, dans le futur, ils serviront au forage des puits de développement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tracked Vehicles (Military)
  • Wheeled Vehicles (Military)
CONT

Day and night sighting and observation systems can also depend on low light television. Among the most sophisticated equipment in this field must be the French Sagem Savan(stabilized aiming, vertical sensing and navigation) gunner's multi-channel stabilized sight which is in service in the Giat Industries Leclerc main battle tanks.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Véhicules chenillés (Militaire)
  • Véhicules à roues (Militaire)
CONT

La caméra de Tv à bas niveau de lumière est une autre technologie qui s'utilise aussi, de jour comme de nuit. Dans ce domaine, l'un des systèmes les plus sophistiqués est certainement le viseur stabilisé multicanaux Savan (stabilized aiming, vertical sensing and navigation) de la firme française Sagem.
