Monitor microseismic events in real time during hydraulic fracturing operations

StimMAP hydraulic fracture mapping service provides fracture monitoring in real time—within 30 seconds of microseismic activity. Based on proprietary coalescence microseismic mapping (CMM) that enables processing more events per minute than would be possible with hand picking, it delivers close agreement for the fracture geometry on the same dataset. The CMM technique provides more events because multiple arrivals can be handled in a single time window.

Characterize fractures accurately

Understanding fracture geometry is key to effective stimulation treatments and well economics. Microseismic fracture monitoring provides imaging of the geometry of a hydraulic fracture to accurately measure fracture geometry. Accurately measuring the fracture geometry offers precise data on hydraulic fracture systems to increase understanding of the fracturing process. This increased understanding in real time

  • reduces well stimulation costs
  • optimizes field drilling plans
  • allows changes in perforation strategies and plan diversion schemes to be made on the fly.

Tech Paper Geomechanics of Hydraulic Fracturing Inferred from Composite Radiation Patterns of Microseismicity

Hydraulic-fracture microseismicity sometimes exhibits fairly uniform radiation patterns, as revealed by systematic patterns of P- and S-wave first motions and amplitude ratios. These patterns suggest a predictable failure condition and allow composite source mechanism information to be obtained from sparse receiver coverage.

Tech Paper Modeling Microseismic Hydraulic Fracture Deformation

Microseismic evidence of fracture complexity has lead to the recent development of new modeling tools to simulate the growth of complex fracture networks. Typically these complex fracture models rely on calibration from microseismic location information, although microseismic source mechanics can also provide additional model verification.
