Feasibility and Modeling

We conduct computer modeling and on-site feasibility studies to custom engineer the best monitoring array and system for the nature of the project. Each monitoring solution is designed to provide maximum monitoring coverage based on the specific geological characteristics of the site.

Our feasibility studies investigate two main characteristics of a planned microseismic monitoring project:  Microseismic event detectability and the expected quality of seismic source locations. 

Detection limits and location accuracy determinations are used to determine an optimized site-specific sensor array architecture.
