Introducing Seismos-CONNECT™
Seismos-CONNECT™ is a new pioneering approach to evaluate the connection between the wellbore and the reservoir via the perforations. Requiring only a connection to surface piping, Seismos-CONNECT™ is completely non-invasive, posing no operational risk compared to other methods such as fiber or downhole cameras. The technology uses acoustics to investigate the perforation tunnels of each stage immediately after they are shot. The entire process takes three to four minutes without disrupting normal operations. Instantly, the client is able to assess the perforation effectiveness and inform possible treatment risks for the coming stages. Seismos-CONNECT™ is completed before any pumping takes place and at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods, all with no extra downtime or operational risk.
With real-time information streaming on a per-stage basis, operators can then use the alerts to adjust their treatment design when needed to mitigate potential pumping issues. Such mitigation actions include re-perforating, increasing acid and/or gel volumes, and reducing proppant concentration.
