Overview

Record Microseismic Activity in Real Time

StimMAP services for hydraulic fracturing monitoring record microseismic activity in real time during the fracturing process. A full range of software provides modeling, survey design, microseismic detection and location, uncertainty analysis, data integration, and visualization for interpretation, wherever and whenever decisions must be made. Computer imagery is used to monitor the activity in 3D space relative to the location of the fracturing treatment. Then the monitored activities are animated to show progressive fracture growth and the subsurface response to pumping variations.

Accurate characterization of a hydraulic fracture system

The StimMAP service uses Petrel seismic-to-simulation software to provide accurate characterization of the locations, geometry, and dimensions of a hydraulic fracture system. Advanced processing techniques provide fracture characterization that enhances fracture models and reservoir characterization for production simulation.

Microseismic monitoring, which delivers information about the changing stress of a reservoir can be used to enhance reservoir development in tight gas completions, fault mapping, reservoir imaging, waterflood monitoring, drilling waste disposal, and thermal recovery.
