Microseismic 2012-technology for
surface hydrofrac monitoring.
Frac without monitoring:
• $million losses of production wells
• ecological problems
Monitoring options:
• Boreholes: wells are expensive - unbeatable • Surface: signals are buried in noise -
PROBLEM
solvable
Frac is the only tool for shale gas production
Key to success:
coherent noise suppression and
signal extraction
with OSA
(Optimal Statistical Algorithms)

Microseismic Monitoring Platform
MMP
Just the United States conducts more than 25 000 hydrofracs for shale gas recovery a year with estimated frac monitoring market of $6 Billions.
Covering only 10% of the
potential monitoring market
segment in the US brings
approximately $600million a
year.
