Troika International Limited - Life of Fields/Microseismic Events Continous Monitoring System - Data Management, Processing and Reformatting

地震/地球物理数据被采集并用于石油和天然气（O&G）勘探、油气监测、学术研究和地震事件监测。虽然所使用的系统的机制是相似的，但数据处理和格式化的方式已经独立发展。“油田寿命”（LoF）系统是半永久性地震接收器阵列，用于在储层上获取频繁的3D勘测。这些数据是提供公共问责制的关键（例如BP的Macondo，水力压裂），更多地了解储层，以便更有效地消耗碳氢化合物，并提醒操作人员注意任何异常事件（例如地震活动）。类似的要求适用于工业微震监测（即被动观测和小规模地震活动的使用）。因此，需要将这些技术和数据集合并，目的使用已经出现，目前在许多国家的法定要求（包括英国）存在的数据将被存入国家档案馆的标准格式开发的勘探地球物理学家协会（SEG）的数据交换。（大约1.5TB/天/储层）、以接近真实的时间以正确的SEG格式提取/报告信息、管理数据以适应处理需求以及保持数据可传输性的能力尚未完全开发。此外，地震数据是复杂的，在其生命周期中容易出现错误/数据丢失，使得目前可用的大数据流解决方案难以使用。为了解决这些问题，Troika旨在开发一种模块化解决方案，自动评估地震事件，将这些大量数据组织成离散记录，重新格式化数据，允许传统的地震数据处理和数据存储在可移动磁带或任何其它未来的介质中，同时确保恒定的质量控制。Troika预计未来5年收入将增加350万英镑，由于需求增长，收入将呈指数级增长。

Seismic/geophysical data is acquired and used for oil and gas (O&G) exploration, reservoirmonitoring, academic research and seismic event monitoring. Although the mechanics of thesystems used are similar, the way data is processed & formatted has evolved independently.‘Life of Field’ (LoF) systems are semi-permanent seismic receiver arrays used to acquirefrequent 3D surveys over a reservoir. Such data are key to providing public accountability(e.g. BP’s Macondo, fracking), understanding more about reservoirs for more efficienthydrocarbon depletion and alerting operators of any unusual events (e.g. seismic activity).Similar requirements apply to industrial microseismic monitoring (i.e. passive observation anduse of small-scale seismic activity).Hence a need to merge these technologies and Data Sets for multi-purpose use has appearedand currently a statutory requirement in many countries (including the UK) exists for the datato be deposited into a national archive in a standard format developed by the Society ofExploration Geophysicists (SEG) for data exchange.However, ways of storing the data acquired (circa 1.5TB/day/reservoir), extracting/reportinginformation in the correct SEG format in near real time, managing the data to suit processingneeds and keeping the data transportable have not yet been fully developed. Also, seismic datais complex and prone to errors/data loss during its lifecycle, making currently available largedata streaming solutions difficult to use.To address these issues, Troika aims to develop a modular solution that automaticallyevaluates seismic events, organises these large volumes of data into discrete records,reformats the data, allowing for conventional seismic data processing and data storage intransportable magnetic tape or any other future media whilst ensuring constant quality control.Post R&D, Troika expects £3.5M increased revenue in the next 5 years, which would increaseexponentially due to growing demand.
