Austin, Texas November 15, 2007 7:30 – US Oil & Gas Co Announces that it has a patent pending on A SIMPLE FIBEROPTIC SEISMOMETER FOR RUGGED ENVIROMENTS that will dramatically reduce the cost of seismic sensor arrays having the fidelity and reliability necessary for permanent downhole and seafloor installations. The advancement promises to make big oil techniques for oilfield production management and exploration techniques available to the middle market players.
USOG plans to revolutionize “Green” oil and gas technologies with the smallest footprint.Most heavy oil recovery schemes depend on formation feedback information to make decisions about inputs and production rates to optimize the oil field. Correct management of costly secondary recovery methods could double the financial returns on these projects. Affordable sensors are the key to bringing modern production techniques to the oil patch.
Offshore, a seismic sensor array has to be reliable enough to be deployed once and not need maintenance. This invention transcends the intrinsic limitation of existing sensing seismic sensing technology by the elimination of physical connections to remote optical fibers in addition to a non-electric solution. The simplicity of this new device raises opportunities for seismic sensors that have lifetimes exceeding ten years in deepwater applications. |
