A system for resource usage optimization employs an automatically controlled sensor suite providing data to a computer system for the analysis of spatial relationships of the sensors and resources. A control module incorporates an interactive logic, in an exemplary embodiment of well-stream coupled dynamic or game theory engines, operating in conjunction with the spatial data processing algorithms, GIS in an exemplary embodiment, receives as an input an objective function set for the use of the resource and constraint sets which are then monitored by the sensor suite. Incoming data is compared to the constraint sets and upon impact to any of the elements of the objective function set, creates a report/alarm for action or to trigger a corrective action.

Integrated resource monitoring system with interactive logic control for well water extraction

A system for detecting leaks of petroleum and other non-petroleum based products in an environment includes a sensor package comprising at least one LED and an optical photo-detector. The emitter transmits an excitation signal with an excitation wavelength, and the detector is tuned to the emission wavelengths of a fluorescing mixture, such as a petroleum based product, in a space where detection is sought. An alarm system coupled to the detector may be used for notifying users in case of a leak.

System and method for optical detection of petroleum and other products in an environment

A monitoring and reporting system employing field sensor packages with telemetry to a processing system having input software creating cardinal matrices for the sensor data and conversion elements for compatibility with a geographical information system (GIS) to produce real-time generate geostatistically rendered contour diagrams that display the spatial and temporal distribution of environmental parameters of interest.
