Description

The rising demand for energy has driven a substantial increase in underground industrial operations. Initially centered on primary production, such as fossil fuels and geothermal energy, this expansion now includes fluid storage (Underground Gas Storage (UGS) and Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS)) and CO2 sequestration.
These operations may alter the stress field in the shallow crust, potentially generating seismic events, which pose risks to both human safety and the integrity of the industrial site and surrounding area.
In this context, the innovative startup SEISMIX offers advanced seismic and microseismic monitoring solutions through the use of dedicated methodologies.
SEISMIX serves companies operating in the Oil&Gas, Geothermal, UGS, and CCS sectors, which require reliable seismic monitoring systems to effectively manage their industrial operations.

Our products

Real-time Seismic Monitoring System

Real-time Seismic Monitoring System

Our core business is the real-time microseismic monitoring of areas affected by industrial operations. All the services we provide can be customized to meet client needs. We cover all phases of a Seismic Monitoring Project, from the design of a Seismic Network to the quantitative interpretation of the results. Thanks to our partnership with Solgeo, we also handle the on-site phases, such as site surveys, environmental noise campaigns, and the installation/management of seismic stations. To further enhance an effective monitoring system, we offer additional services such as the optimization of seismic networks, local magnitude calibration, estimation of local seismic velocity models to improve localization accuracy, data reprocessing using cutting-edge methodologies, and comprehensive quantitative analysis of seismicity.

Optimization of seismic networks

Optimization of seismic networks

The optimization of seismic networks is crucial for enhancing the detection, location, magnitude estimation, and source parameter analysis of both natural and induced seismicity. SEISMIX offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at improving Seismic Monitoring Systems, including: • Earthquake location using waveform-based methods, particularly effective for dealing with microseismicity. • Installation and setup of acquisition and processing systems with specialized software; customization to meet specific clients’ needs. • Optimizing and integrating 1D and 3D local seismic velocity models to improve the accuracy of earthquake locations. • Reducing the impact of background noise by deploying sensors in boreholes. To minimize costs, it is essential to estimate the optimal sensor installation depth, along with seismic noise characterization.
