RESMAP

ESG’s RESMAP® service successfully delivers continuous, real-time feedback on reservoir conditions in response to injections. Monitor EOR operations, ensure caprock and well casing integrity, track steam chamber growth, evaluate fault activation and assess induced seismic hazard. Microseismic monitoring is a powerful regulatory and production optimization tool in use for oil field operations such as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), carbon sequestration or natural gas storage. During such injection operations, maintaining the integrity of the reservoir is essential. Through our RESMAP® services, ESG has pioneered the use of passive seismic (microseismic) monitoring in long-term reservoir operations, to provide feedback on the reservoir integrity. Using in-house manufactured downhole sensors and data acquisition equipment, ESG has installed permanent and temporary microseismic monitoring systems to provide life-of-field (LOF) monitoring for EOR operations and underground storage projects around the world. Applications:

• Reservoir characterization
• Tracking steam development in thermal injection/recovery operations (i.e. CSS, SAGD)
• Monitoring for well casing failure
• Monitoring for caprock integrity or out-of-zone growth
• Waterflood and EOR optimization
• CO2, natural gas and waste storage
• Real-time alerts notifying operators of trends in seismicity
