Seismic Focal Point
Real-time induced seismicity monitoring service
Overview
Detect local seismic events in real time
Induced seismicity is a phenomenon that occurs when mechanical stress shifts subsurface layers, causing tremors. SLB has taken the lead in addressing the detection and effects of this phenomenon through its Seismic Focal Point™ real-time induced seismicity monitoring service.
The service uses special instrumentation to record low-energy events, and its cloud-based system provides automated, prompt notification of local seismic events that might affect regulatory compliance.
Seismic Focal Point
A cloud-based system providing prompt notification of local seismic events that affect regulatory compliance.
Applications
- Seismic data acquisition (internal or external data sources)
- Regulatory induced-seismicity monitoring, reservoir monitoring, and stimulation monitoring
- Saltwater disposal injection and geothermal injection
- Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects
- Underground natural gas injection and storage
Benefits
Continuous real-time monitoring
Enables monitoring for a wide range of environmental and regulatory applications
Customizable to local requirements
Enables adjusting activities to honor regulatory thresholds and models operations in real time, computing maximum injection rates to achieve compliance
Accessible from any phone or computer
Aggregates seismic data in the cloud and sends notifications via email or text, with detailed reports and maps immediately visible on a web portal
