Pinnacle, a Halliburton service, now offers imaging technology that will allow the processing of surface microseismic data sets. This new technology adds to Halliburton’s industry-leading set of fracture mapping and reservoir monitoring services.

 

In some situations, surface microseismic imaging can be used for fracture mapping, moment tensor estimation and reservoir monitoring. The decision to use surface microseismic imaging should be based on quantified estimates of accuracy and resolution. Pinnacle’s imaging capability quantifies the accuracy of results from surface microseismic imaging through comparison with conventional downhole microseismic monitoring, surface and downhole micro-deformation, distributed temperature sensing, and other diagnostic information. Once calibrated, surface microseismic monitoring eliminates the need for an observation well and facilitates offshore monitoring.

 

Pinnacle strives to maintain leadership in oilfield monitoring through the provision of proven technologies. Through the combination of optimized monitoring packages and data interpretation, Pinnacle can help to increase the value of the operator’s assets. Pinnacle’s depth and breadth of experience, along with its market-leading technology, provides for truly customized packages designed to achieve the customers’ objectives.
