Nanometrics is working with British Columbia’s Oil and Gas Research and Innovation Society to explore enhancements to induced seismicity management protocols in the Kiskatinaw Area.
Don't miss Sepideh Karimi's poster presentation "Practical Implementation and Evaluation of a Real-time Forecasting-based Induced Seismicity Management System" at the Third Schatzalp Wor
Practical management of induced seismicity risk and effective mitigation approaches are crucial to oil and gas operations.
Building on over 30 years of seismic instrumentation development, Nanometrics has evolved into a market leader in turnkey seismic monitoring for the energy production sector.
In response to induced seismicity observed in western Canada, existing public networks have been densified and a number of private networks have been deployed to closely monitor induced earthquakes associated with oil and gas operations in the region. Over the past three years, we generated an…
GeoScience BC identified a requirement to better understand the effects of hydraulic fracturing in the Horn River Basin. The dissemination of precise and accurate geotechnical information to the public is the foundation of their work.
Challenge
To establish a regional network with real-time data streaming for monitoring seismic activity in the province of Alberta.
We develop a suite of ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for earthquakes in western Alberta, where seismic hazard contributions from induced events is of particular interest.
We address the problem of designing a seismic network for monitoring induced seismic events that must meet specific performance criteria. We propose a method to assess a fundamental measure of performance without an earthquake catalogue: magnitude of completeness.
