Productive-SRV®

The multi patent-pending Productive-SRV combines engineering data with microseismic data to determine what proportion of the total stimulated rock volume (SRV) is propped and should, therefore, be productive. This novel approach helps you to finally answer the question “where did the proppant go?” We utilize the failure type through the full moment tensor, how the rock broke, through MicroSeismic’s patented PSET® technology. From there, our team of experts build an event magnitude calibrated Discrete Fracture Network (DFN), taking into account the seismic energy of the fractures, rock properties, and the injected fluid volume. The technology then determines what part of the reservoir was affected by the treatment and what part of the reservoir may not be hydraulically connected over a longer period of time. Using reservoir characteristics from microseismic data allows for mapping the propped network, and therefore productive, fractures. This process helps operators estimate where the proppant is distributed throughout the fracture network to:

• Optimize production faster by determining ideal well spacing early on
• Maximize recovery by achieving ideal fracture coverage
• Compare and adjust different treatment designs and plans
