 The Weir-Jones Group has supplied over 350 passive microseismic (PMM) and acoustic emission monitoring solutions to the oil and gas, mining, and heavy construction industries in North America and overseas for more than 35 years. Cost-effective 24-bit resolution hardware and robust software, which draws upon this experience is available as a Turn-Key solution. A wide variety of both temporary and permanent, Life Of Field, (LOF), solutions are available. PMM systems are usually installed in areas where seismicity is induced as a result of changes in the state of stress caused by excavations within the reservoir, or by changes in formation pressure during fluid injection or extraction. A number of major producers use these systems on a continuous basis. The data can help delineate production zones, monitor fracture growth associated with resource extraction or production enhancement techniques, and verify compliance with regulatory agencies.
Direct Benefits:
- Reduction in well completion and stimulations costs
- Enhanced Reservoir characterization and monitoring provided
- Meeting regulatory compliance
- Significantly enhancing the efficiency of the overall petroleum recovery process.
