ESG is heading to Calgary for the GeoCanada conference from May 10-14, 2010.  ESG will have a number of technical presentations as well as our fantastic new booth so come and visit us!!  Booth number is #523.

ESG’s new corporate headquarters at 20 Hyperion Ct. in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, is starting to feel like home for all employees.  After watching the new building transform from an empty lot to through the windows of the old headquarters down the road, the new structure now stands as a reflection of the growth and success of the company itself.

ESG is pleased to announce the successful incorporation of their microseismic monitoring systems to hydroelectric dams in Iraq and China.  Specifically, the Paladin™ Dam Monitoring System has been installed in seven hydro-electric dams in Iraq and one at the Jinping Hydroelectric Dam in Schuan province in China.

A seismic system has recently been installed at Shizhuyuan mine in Hunan Province, the site of a world famous poly-metal deposit extremely rich in rare metals.

The Shizhuyuan mine is located under a mountain and lies in a relatively low-stress environment. The need for minerals in recent years led to a faster advancement of the excavations than previously anticipated, which pushed mining activities to deeper levels. A series of large remnant pillars are currently mined out at depth in transition from a room-and-pillar to block caving mining method.

ESG is pleased to announce the launch of its 2nd generation microseismic processing capabilities.  Pioneered by ESG’s geophysical data processing and software development team, these advanced analytical techniques are applied to seismic interpretation and imaging of hydraulic fracture stimulations and microseismic monitoring of reservoir operations such as EOR or thermal recovery.
