Energy Transition
Geospace, a long-standing leader in the wireless revolution, continues to adapt its offerings to meet the changing needs of the energy exploration industry. The company is now focusing on the energy transition by providing reliable products for monitoring microseismicity related to carbon storage, geothermal energy, steam-assisted gravity drainage, and industrial mining. Featured products supporting the energy transition include Insight, fiber optic point sensing technology, and the passive seismic networked array SADAR®.
For the transformation of the energy industry, achieving large-scale net-emission reductions, and the capture and storage of CO₂, tens of gigatons will be required. Economical and effective measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) technologies help to manage the risks associated with underground carbon sequestration, ensure ongoing operations, and verify reservoir integrity. One key technology is passive seismic monitoring for the sensing and characterization of micro-earthquakes associated with CO₂ injection, operations, or failure. At the gigaton storage level, passive seismic systems face the challenge of providing useful information in real time as well as being cost-effective, permanent, and maintainable.
Early Detection of Leaks
Geospace’s SADAR® leak detection system can detect leaks in real time, allowing operators to take immediate action to prevent environmental damage and avoid costly downtime.
Enhanced Safety and Reliability
Geospace’s advanced seismic sensors and data acquisition systems provide accurate and reliable information about underground conditions, ensuring safe and secure carbon storage operations.
Real-Time Monitoring and Analysis
Geospace’s Optiseis Insight provides real-time monitoring and analysis of seismic data, enabling operators to quickly identify and respond to any potential issues.
Improved Regulatory Compliance
Geospace’s products meet or exceed regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance and minimizing the risk of fines or penalties.
Better Risk Management
Geospace’s Seismic Monitoring System enables operators to monitor vibration levels during injection and storage operations, helping to identify and manage risks to the integrity of the storage site.
Cost-Effective
Geospace’s products can help operators reduce costs by minimizing the need for manual monitoring and inspection, optimizing injection rates, and reducing the risk of downtime and environmental damage.
