Array will provide local seismicity data in real time to ensure safe and
uninterrupted oil and gas field operations
December 10, 2012, HOUSTON. Spectraseis, the technology leader in microseismic
fracture imaging, stimulation evaluation and seismic monitoring, has been
awarded a new contract for the installation and data processing of a broadband
seismic monitoring system in British Columbia.
The system, which will consistent of high sensitivity broadband seismometers
installed both at the surface and downhole and Spectraseis' ISV-Pro(TM) web-
enabled software, will deliver real-time data on local seismicity to a major oil
& gas producer with salt water injection operations in British Columbia.
This information will allow the operator to more precisely monitor and control
seismicity - such as small magnitude Earth tremors - in conjunction with their
field activities.
By monitoring seismic activity around wellsites, the producer will build a
better understanding of local seismicity and any association with their
operations. This will allow the company to evaluate whether seismic events are
related to their areas of operation and take proactive steps to ensure safe
operations.
The ISV-Pro web interface provides easy and secure customer access to processed
data and status of stations in the array. A comprehensive data management
solution provides secure seismic data archiving and remote data access, as well
as hard copy delivery service in a wide range of data formats to fit various
viewing and processing applications.
Spectraseis already operates several such arrays for oil & gas producers in the
U.S.
Spectraseis CTO, Rob Habiger said:
"Induced seismicity is an area of growing interest to corporate policy-makers
and regulators in North America. Our customers are increasingly taking the
responsible position of acquiring the data necessary to evaluate and understand
seismicity in their areas of operations.
Spectraseis offers a technically advanced solution that can be installed quickly
to obtain background seismicity data, and allows for continuous monitoring
during local well activity. This reduces the possibility of undetected
seismicity leading to unplanned operational shutdowns or public concerns."
