... ABSTRACT When equipped with certain electronic hardware a coil tubing unit (CTU) can acquire powerful capabilities. Among these are automatic monitoring of equipment and process variables, and on-line computational support to the CTU operator. A data acquisition system (DAS) that vastly...

... to install sufficient instrumentation on the conductor of a subsea well, together with a data acquisition system, to enable the recording of the significant conductor parameters for comparison with model predictions. This paper describes: the objectives of the measurement program; the design and testing...

... ABSTRACT Digital seismic data acquisition systems have recently become available to supersede the analog equipment commonly used in very high resolution (better than 1 meter) shallow marine seismic reflection surveys. These systems have been successfully tested and used both in the domain...

... the instrumentation, the data acquisition system and the efforts required to install them. The expected benefits to be derived from such a program are also reviewed. INTRODUCTION When the Cognac Platform was installed over ten years ago, a set of instruments was deployed on the structure. Both oceanographic...

... to preserve both the amplitude and the phase of the echo signals so as to be able to remove the sidelobe interference inherent in the multibeam geometry. As no provisions exist within the Sea Beam system to preserve the acoustic signals received, a parallel acoustic data acquisition system is needed to record...
