2012 SEG, Las Vegas NV Shear wave arrivals in surface microseismic data, by Ben Witten, Summer Montgomery and Brad Artman, PhD

High-quality surface microseismic data illuminates fracture treatments: A case study in the Montney. Unconventional reservoir developments require enormous amounts of capital. Well spacing and stage

Spectraseis and Calmena have combined forces to deliver the industry’s only fully-integrated, multi-mode microseismic monitoring and imaging services. Customers in Canada will benefit from the

There is a common misconception in microseismic monitoring that shear arrivals are more difficult to detect at the surface than compressional arrivals. This is despite

Despite truly remarkable achievements so far, our understanding of unconventional reservoirs is immature, especially when compared to our 100+ years of experience in conventional oil

Pre-survey modeling is important. As unconventional resource activities boom, the need to understand the effectiveness of drilling and stimulation programs has led to increased use

Stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) is a critical factor in resource plays and is used by engineers to assess the effectiveness of a fracture treatment, establish

Synthetic study showing the feasibility of detecting a viscoelastic inclusion in the subsurface by analyzing the seismic wavefield at the medium’s surface. Download full text:
