Schlumberger has introduced the MS Recon high-fidelity microseismic surface acquisition system. This system for surface and shallow grid microseismic surveys aims to provide improved imaging of the hydraulic fracture geometry by optimizing the microseismic signal quality, the company said in a news release.
The system features a proprietary geophone accelerometer and ultra-low noise electronics. In addition, GPS-synchronized data are acquired continuously and transmitted to a real-time operations support center.
In field trials conducted at an operator wellsite in Texas, the MS Recon system and a conventional system were deployed to monitor hydraulic fracture treatments in a horizontal shale completion. The field data analysis concluded the microseismic system improved the sensitivity to smaller microseismic events by boosting the signal-to-noise ratio more than two-fold compared to the conventional system, the release said.
