FAQs
- 1_ Do your measurements add time to operations?
No, most of Seismos measurements and data are taken during fracturing operations and designed with clients in mind, taking a minimum amount of measurement time. Typical active measurements take no more than 5-15minutes during the time when wireline or other operations are already ongoing and thus do not increase NPT. Additional measurements and insights are possible if there is a longer operational delay. Because measurements align and overlap with existing activitiesthe potential delay per frac stage is between 0-10 minutes.
- 2_ How much space does your equipment take?
Seismos equipment takes up a minimal footprint on the wellhead and around with rig-up and rig-down time <1hr, during which other operations on the well can be performed.
- 3_ How does your technology work?
Seismos generates and listens to acoustic data in the well bore and uses its proprietary algorithms, processing, and workflows to convert that data to meaningful insights on fractures, wellbore, and the changing conditions. Much of our work is covered by patents.
- 4_ Do you have your own hardware?
Yes, Seismos has its own set of custom and proprietary hardware that can both generate acoustic signals and receive them.
- 5_ How quickly is your data available?
Seismos processed data is available to the operator in near-time, fast enough to make important and meaningful operational decisions.
- 6_ What are your next products?
We are continuing to refine and expand our product offering. Please check back frequently or sign up for our newsletter.
- 7_ Where have you done work?
Seismos has done work in all but 1 major US shale basins.
- 8_ Do you have employees on site?
Yes, Seismos maintains at least a 1-person crew in shifts on the site during the frac job. They posses all necessary safety certifications, training in compliance with the industry and clients' requirements.
- 9_ When are you available to do measurements on my wells?
Our work-load varies, but it may take some time to get your wells scheduled and timetables aligned.
