We have the experience to understand your operations, challenges, and goals before recommending the technical solution that best fits your needs.

With our well monitoring services, expect accurate event detection, location, and delivery. You’re also equipped with decision-driving data, ensuring improved safety, uptime, and productivity as a result.

We’re ready to tackle your biggest energy challenges.

Make informed and empowered decisions with real-time data associated with operational activities such as:

• Hydraulic fracturing
• Enhanced oil recovery
• Fluid injection
• Underground injection
• Underground storage
• Geothermal
• Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP)

 

a). Hydraulic Fracture Monitoring

Get better data and make more informed decisions with our microseismic acquisition, processing, and analysis services. ESG Solutions provides proprietary high-sensitivity geophone arrays, recommends superior deployment methods, and provides unmatched insights into your fracture network using the highest-resolution data available.

We also offer downhole tiltmeters and fiber DAS (standalone or integrated with geophones) to give you multiple data streams from the same operational footprint.

We work with you to understand what you need from your microseismic data and what decisions you have to make as a result. Using our decades of experience in unconventional formations, our expert team gathers and reviews quality data, then makes the best possible recommendations for your unique operation. No more guesswork—only pinpoint accuracy.

 

b). Induced Seismicity Monitoring

Manage your oil and gas operations and assess risk more effectively over your acreage by monitoring induced seismicity in real time. We develop and operate reliable networks to manage risk associated with subsurface activities, such as hydraulic fracturing and water injection. From there, we collect and store data, identify and auto-locate the event, and review data quality before providing it to you.

This service allows operators to quickly identify and respond to high-magnitude events, ensuring your resources are developed in a socially responsible manner.

 

c). Reservoir Monitoring

Whether you’re sequestering carbon, storing natural gas or biowaste, or conducting enhanced oil recovery operations, your reservoir has to remain intact at all costs. We use our microseismic monitoring systems—including in-house manufactured downhole sensors and data acquisition equipment—to monitor well casing integrity, ensure injected fluid and hydrocarbon containment, and report on reservoir activity.

We have a deep understanding of microseismicity and are always working to develop new ways of collecting and processing subsurface data. Partner with us and you not only improve operational efficiency, but also experience the peace of mind that comes with always-on reservoir monitoring.

 

d). Electromagnetics

High-resolution imaging of fluid movement in the subsurface has been a traditional limitation of subsurface monitoring techniques. ESG Solutions has remedied this issue by deploying their industry-leading electromagnetic observation technique.

Whether operators are hydraulically fracturing (pushing fluid and proppant into the subsurface), flowing back (turning on production), disposing of unwanted water (saltwater disposal), or pushing unwanted gases into deep reservoirs (carbon sequestration), they can now observe where those changes are occurring at depth. This allows operators to see issues as they arise and be proactive rather than reacting to issues once they come to the surface.

 

 

 

B. MINING & GEOTECHNICAL

ESG Solutions is your best choice for subsurface diagnostic solutions for mining and geotechnical applications.

Since 1993, our microseismic monitoring specialists have provided mining services in over 40 countries, with 100 projects each year on average. We work with you to understand your unique challenges and monitoring goals, then develop the right all-in-one solution for your operation.

With microseismic monitoring, you’re alerted in real-time about changing rock conditions and hazardous ground conditions that could affect your site’s safety and productivity, keeping workers safe and ensuring operational uptime.

By reviewing data from past microseismic events, we also identify how subsurface rock mass responds to your mining and geotechnical operations, allowing you to predict and plan for subsurface challenges during future operations.

 

b). Installation, Training & Project Management

We innovate, design, and manufacture proprietary microseismic systems specifically for subsurface mining and geotechnical applications, such as wireless underground data transmission and slimline multi-sensor arrays. Our field team assists with installing this technology anywhere in the world, and we train your site staff to use our hardware and software.

 

c). Data Processing & Interpretation

We don’t just provide raw data from our microseismic monitoring systems. Work with our data processing group of highly trained geophysical staff to review and analyze your results, and get expert analysis and reporting delivered on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. With our advanced, comprehensive microseismic analysis and consulting, you know exactly what your data means and how you can apply it to your specific mining or geotechnical operation.

 

d). Advanced Analytics & Consulting

We’re pioneers in microseismics, and we have led ongoing research and development in that field since the early 1990s. Since day one, we have invested in a better understanding of not only the data we collect, but also the rock mass behaviour behind it. As a result, we are able to provide customers  with cutting-edge instrumentation, powerful custom software, and analytical solutions that empower any operation.

 

e). Maintenance & Technical Support

Technical support comes standard with all commissioned solutions. When support for ESG systems is needed to facilitate safe operations at your site, please call our support team.

We also offer training, either on site or at one of our worldwide offices, and can provide regularly scheduled on-site maintenance and technological upgrades to ensure your microseismic systems are delivering the results you need.
