Full-Wave Location (FWL) Technology

A passive microseismic monitoring technology that facilitates better reservoir management and improvisation of hydrocarbon recovery. The technique is based on full-waveform seismic numerical simulation and uses microseismic events information that occurs throughout the production life of hydrocarbon reservoirs.  

Advantages of FWL technology:

• Mobility & cost effectiveness - survey is performed from the surface ( significantly cheaper costs).

• Best noise-immunity technique of location - maximum likelihood method

• 3D elastic Full-Wave numerical simulation to get full signal shape

• The inversion of the tensor of seismic moment

Applications:​

• Hydraulic reservoirs fracture monitoring.

• Natural active fractures network mapping.

• Monitoring of Fluid injection.

• Thermal treatment monitoring.
