Optimized Stimulation Treatments
Understanding hydraulically induced fracture system geometry and temporal evolution facilitates effective stimulation treatments and improves well economics.
Borehole-based microseismic fracture monitoring involves accurate imaging of the geometries of sets of hydraulic fractures (natural or induced), providing a 4D view of your reservoir’s flow network. Monitoring network design, tool selection, processing, visualization, and interpretation using seismic-to-simulation software provides this analysis directly within the geological model, fully integrated with your seismic and petrophysical data.
StimMAP and StimMAP LIVE services for hydraulic fracturing monitoring capture microseismic activity during the fracturing process. Our Data & Consulting Services engineers collect microseismic data from sensor arrays in nearby wells. Experts apply various processing techniques to analyze complex sets of recorded acoustic waveforms. Then they use advanced visualization and interpretation techniques to monitor and analyze in real time the spatial and temporal evolution of fracture networks in 4D space, relative to the location of the fracturing treatment. InterACT connectivity and data transmission enables engineers onsite to collaborate in real time with interpreters and decision makers offsite.
Stress monitoring
Microseismic monitoring also delivers information about the evolving stress of a reservoir that can enhance reservoir development in tight gas and shale completions, fault mapping, reservoir imaging, waterflood monitoring, drilling waste disposal, and thermal recovery.
