Spectraseis and Calmena Launch Microseismic Fracture Monitoring Services in Canada

Calmena Energy Services Inc. (“Calmena”) (TSX:CEZ) and Spectraseis announce agreement to jointly provide microseismic acquisition, imaging and advisory services in Canada.

The agreement combines Calmena’s strengths as an experienced downhole microseismic wireline and well services provider with Spectraseis’ industry-leading data acquisition and microseismic imaging and interpretation capabilities to deliver seamless fracture imaging and analysis solutions for all types of fracture monitoring using surface, near-surface and deep borehole arrays.

Customers will benefit from the close technical and operating integration of downhole and surface arrays, which is essential to good microseismic monitoring design and efficient operations, as well the accurate, calibrated timing of the datasets for joint interpretation.

Microseismic monitoring of well fracture stimulations provides operators the information to optimize the main cost drivers of unconventional reservoir development, particularly well spacing and orientation, and frac design. Real-time monitoring of fracture stimulations provides data for operators to optimize their stimulation program in response to frac behavior.

Spectraseis is the technology leader in microseismic fracture monitoring and stimulation evaluation. It provides services to many of the world’s leading E&P firms, including a growing customer base among North American unconventional resource operators. Spectraseis provides a competitive advantage to its customers through cutting-edge innovations in surface and borehole passive seismic monitoring, full-wave data processing and imaging. Established in 2004 in Zurich, Spectraseis has offices in Zurich, Houston, Denver and Calgary. Spectraseis was awarded the CTI Start-up Label in 2003.
