Oil Gas Fracture Monitoring Using

项目摘要

The oil and gas industry has been transformed recently due to the discovery of large untappedreservoirs containing ‘unconventional’ oil and gas. These resources are located in non-porousrock where the oil and gas flows extremely slowly, making the reservoirs uneconomic toproduce. Production has been made economic by creating thousands of fractures in the rockthat allow the oil to flow.Due to environmental concerns, including contamination of ground water and generatingsmall earthquakes, many fracturing process are now monitored. Legislation in some countriesrequires monitoring and this is rapidly spreading to further countries. Both geophones andseismometers are used in oil and gas exploration, but currently only geophones are used forfracture monitoring. We believe that the use of seismometers for oil and gas fracturemonitoring is innovative and that there may be a considerable market opportunity due to theadvantages seismometers provide over geophones.The objective of our project is to investigate the commercial viability of a service to monitoroil and gas fracturing operations using seismometers. We will evaluate this opportunity byengaging with stakeholders in the market including oil operators, oil service companies andfracturing operators. We will also characterise the competition and speak with regulatorybodies and industry experts. We aim to generate 5 year financial projections for this marketopportunity. To achieve this we will define our target pricing and quantify the investmentrequired to design and procure the equipment required to deliver this innovative service.

石油和天然气行业最近发生了翻天覆地的变化，因为发现了大型未被开发的、含有“非常规”石油和天然气的油气藏。这些资源位于石油和天然气流动极其缓慢的无孔性岩石中，使得储集层开采不经济。通过在岩石上制造数千个裂缝使石油流动，生产变得经济。由于环境问题，包括地下水污染和小地震，现在许多压裂过程都受到监控。一些国家的立法需要监督，这一点正迅速蔓延到更多的国家。石油和天然气勘探都使用检波器和地震仪，但目前只有检波器用于裂缝监测。我们相信，使用地震仪监测油气裂缝是创新的，由于地震仪提供的优势，可能会有相当大的市场机会。我们项目的目标是调查使用地震仪监测油气压裂作业的服务的商业可行性。我们将通过与包括石油运营商、石油服务公司和压裂运营商在内的市场利益相关者接触来评估这一机会。我们还将描述比赛的特点，并与监管机构和行业专家交谈。我们的目标是为这个市场机会产生5年的财务预测。为了实现这一目标，我们将确定我们的目标定价，并量化设计和采购提供这项创新服务所需设备所需的投资。
