Guidage des équipements vers le fond. [...] nous avons mis au point un sonar de rentrée [...] Toutefois, la technologie s’améliorant, il est possible d’envisager actuellement un outil fiable, composite de très faible diamètre, comprenant une caméra de télévision et un sonar pouvant être descendu à l’intérieur des tiges de forage au moyen d’un câble de logging. 3, record 2, French, - sonar%20de%20rentr%C3%A9e

La rentrée de puits. Le problème le plus délicat pour le forage sous-marin à partir d’un navire est de retrouver l'orifice après chaque remontée du train de tige. On installe certes un grand entonnoir métallique à l'entrée du puits, pour guider l'outil au moment où on le redescend; mais quelque stable que soit le bateau, il est nécessaire d’avoir recours au sonar : le trépan est transformé en tête chercheuse propulsée par la réaction d’un jet d’eau giclant par une ouverture latérale. [...] En France, l'Institut français du pétrole a mis au point non seulement un sonar de rentrée très efficace, mais également un appareil de «flexocarottage» [...] 4, record 2, French, - sonar%20de%20rentr%C3%A9e

Dynamic positioning is a technique of automatically maintaining the position of a floating, unanchored vessel within a specified tolerance by using generated thrust vectors to counter the forces of wind, wave, and current forces tending to move the vessel away from the desired location. 1, record 3, English, - dynamically%20positioned%20ship
