A reservoir interval is considered as net pay when it contains hydrocarbons that can flow at ...

Design and Application of a Surface Vessel for Autonomous Inland Water Monitoring

This article presents a novel Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) that was designed and manufactured specifically for the monitoring of water resources, resources that are not only constantly drained, but also face the growing threat of mass proliferation (bloom) of noxious cyanobacteria.
