Microseismic
State of the art techniques
We constantly update our microseismic methods and offerings. By staying on top of new unconventional resource play knowledge and exploitation techniques we bring you the most advanced best practices.
Improved well completions
By combining Calmena's Canadian logistical expertise with Apex/HiPoint’s seismic data acquisition systems, proprietary processing and fracture engineering expertise, we have the flexibility to change fracture stimulation procedures in near real time (minutes). This lets us provide you with improved well completions.
Higher production rates
Our proprietary processing and fracture engineering expertise gives us the power to deliver higher production rates. Preventing fracture propagation into nearby water bearing units provides the input to keep pumping when good in-zone fracture development is observed. Microseismic monitoring of the stimulation provides an actual measurement of the stimulated rock volume (SRV) to compare to the frac design models.
