Projects

Microseismic monitoring, also known as “passive seismic”, allows engineers to visualise active fracture networks within developing or producing fields.

Petroleum Flow

ASC Provides:

  • Real-time optimisation of hydrofracture stimulations.
  • Post-analysis of completion objectives and stimulation effectiveness with treated “hot zones”.
  • Delineation of treatment breakthrough and communication with active fault structures.
  • Mapping of extraction or injection paths through producing fields.
  • Investigation of active fault zones, compaction and subsidence.
  • Real-time processing of microseismic data can provide feed-back of information to engineers on the position, growth and effectiveness of a hydrofracture stimulation, or can map extraction and injection paths in a producing field.
  • Post-processing yields a greater understanding of the treatment history and fluid migration. Microseismic parameters and clustering analysis yields treatment hot zones and provides for an assessment of the completion objectives.
  • Advanced analysis of microseismic data yields information on fracture networks such as distribution, persistence and orientations, and can describe the mechanisms behind the fracture growth leading to a better understanding of the reservoir behaviour.
  • ASC provides a fully integrated processing service from array design, through data management and processing to advanced interpretations with dynamic numerical models to better understand the growth and activation of the fracture structures.

Services

  • We provide a broad spectrum of microseismic processing services, including: real-time data analysis; quality assurance of pre-processed data sets; full post-processing, and enhanced microseismic analysis.
  • ASC provides the industry’s leading hardware-independent microseismic software package, InSite, that includes standard tools as well as advanced analysis options for do-it-yourself processing.
  • Our fully integrated microseismic processing service can provide array design, through real-time processing, results interpretation and correlation of the data with dynamic numerical models of the fracture network and mechanics.

Experience and Innovation


ASC is at the leading edge of providing technologies for commercial microseismic applications.

  • We continue to develop unique algorithms for managing and processing microseismic data from hydrofracture treatments and whole-field monitoring. Our software release and support system provides these latest technologies through our website client-login area.
  • Our InSiteDB database technologies are networking remote microseismic geophysicists and clients to real-time and post-processed data sets and results.
  • Our Enhanced Microseismics program provides an integrated interpretation of the rock’s hydrodynamic response through correlation of fracture network structures with Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) geomechanical models

Software and Data Acquisition

InSite is a software solution for hydrofracture and field monitoring providing a fully three-dimensional microseismic source analysis.

  • Our software is fully automatic, can be run in real time and provides advanced data management, processing and visualisation features.
  • The InSite software is independent of any hardware product or vendor. It can be interfaced to data streams from geophone strings to provide real-time data capture, or used off-line for advanced post-processing analysis.
  • InSite’s Frac Manager provides an integrated studio for management of microseismic data sets with advanced processing and visualisation techniques for hydrofracture data.
  • We provide fullyfeatured microseismic training courses focussed on the principles behind the technology, processing algorithms and hands-on experience of using the software.
