When it comes to hydraulic fracturing in unconventional reservoirs, microseismic data are most useful when integrated with other subsurface datasets in the form of geological or petrophysical data.
Thousands of shale wells throughout the United States have performed below expectations, raising questions about the strength and profitability of fracking, notes opens in a new windowThe Wall Street Journal. One of the main reasons for this concern is the inability to determine how far a fracking event has spread underground.
Integrating Microseismic Data
Microseismic Data Integration and Unconventional Plays
If assessing a shale reserve, for example, users can capture a microseismic event in 3D while simultaneously viewing it in animated form. CoViz 4D can display subsurface attributes, such as:
- FMI logs
- fault geometries
- seismic reflection data
- acoustic logs
Microseismic Data Interpretation and Multidisciplinary Analysis
CoViz 4D, a data visualization software from Dynamic Graphics, Inc., provides data-merging tools that shorten the data-gathering process and provide detailed renderings of fracking profiles and subsurface conditions. CoViz 4D will integrate microseismic data with other pertinent data types, helping operators better understand fracking productivity. Contact our team today to learn how CoViz 4D can augment current production operations while fully assessing risk profiles for tight formations.
