Nanometrics Inc. Continues to Gain Momentum as a Microseismic Monitoring Services Provider in Oil & Gas
The Californer/10147634

KANATA, Ontario - Californer -- Nanometrics Inc. today announces that it has been awarded five additional contracts in the Duvernay and Montney shale plays from major Oil and Gas operators.

To date, microseismic data from hydraulic frac'ing have provided Oil and Gas operators a feedback response from a series of small events detected during completions. These data are used to estimate the effectiveness of the frac'ing and to help validate the well-completion design. The acquisition of this data stream can be technically challenging and costly, involving dedicating a monitor well or deploying a large surface monitoring network. To address these challenges, sophisticated data processing and noise-attenuation techniques are required to achieve a robust and interpretable dataset.

Nanometrics' Passive Fracture Imaging (PFI) service provides all of the microseismic information required to evaluate the effectiveness of completions programs, without the high cost and operational risk of deploying downhole sensors. By combining a low station footprint with beamforming processing PFI provides more detectable, locatable, and reliable events per sensor with an approachable and scalable service.
