Real-Time Optimization of Completion Design Using Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA)


Unconventional reservoirs demand unconventional insight. Historically, operators have optimized perforation schemes, fluid composition, and pumping strategies by relying on delayed diagnostics or post-job evaluations. Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) changes that paradigm, bringing real-time, surface-based fracture performance data directly into the decision-making process.


In this case study, Seismos deployed SAFA across a 60-stage lateral, providing continuous feedback on fluid entry and cluster efficiency. SAFA uncovered substantial differences in fracture performance early in the job, enabling the operator to modify treatment designs mid-fracture. Read more . . .

Europe is strategically targeting its energy independence by leveraging a fast-track pursuit of clean energy solutions while securing safer access to traditional forms of energy generation. On Monday Oct 31 2022, the Research and Technology Committee of the Greek Parliament conducted a meeting on the theme of Accelerating Clean Tech Innovation and Startup Entrepreneurship in the energy space. Christos Tarantilis, Chairperson, and member of Parliament voiced that Clean-Tech startups can do more than ever to help solve Europe’s energy challenges. Such challenges would include the safe and reliable storage of renewable energy, the effective usage and management of smart energy grids and super grids, cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, the optimization of energy efficiency throughout the entire chain – from production to transportation, to distribution and to final consumption.
