Continuous data acquisition saves time, expense in logging

摘要

Combining microseismic measurements with VSP recording aids in determining the benefits of a permanent system. Monitoring microseismic events provides valuable information about the oil and gas production process. It can help operators maximize production and ultimate recovery and, in a growing number of applications, warns of potential environmental and safety issues. The value of monitoring these microseismic events can be as much about observing how the events change over time as it is about knowing they are happening in the first place, making permanent monitoring the ideal method. However, the expense, planning and design work required for permanent microseismic monitoring systems make it a major commitment.
