MicroSeismic, Inc. (MSI) leads the industry in
surface-based microseismic monitoring and
passive seismic imaging.
MicroSeismic, Inc.'s proprietary PSET® technology utilizes wide aperture
arrays, either on the surface or in the near-surface, to
map the microseismicity associated with hydraulic fracturing
and other dynamic reservoir activities. PSET® arrays obviate
the need for monitoring wells, and provide the capability to map
the full extent of frac growth and fault activity with relatively
constant resolution over a large survey volume. MSI has performed work in many of the unconventional resource
basins of North America.
Already well established in hydraulic fracture monitoring, MSI is
expanding its services to include PSET® based reservoir monitoring
to assist the operators of unconventional resource plays better
understand and develop tight oil and gas opportunities.
Case Study
Completion required accurate frac mapping over entire wellbore length
The customer needed to understand the growth of induced fractures for every stage in this horizontal well and how the fracs might interact with offset wells in the area. Conventional downhole monitoring could not provide coverage over the full wellbore length. PSET® frac mapping, with its consistent event location and large area of coverage, was able to provide a full picture of the full stimulated volume.
