1. Microseismic 2012-technology for
surface hydrofrac monitoring.

2. Frac without monitoring:
• $million losses of production wells
• ecological problems
Monitoring options:
• Boreholes: wells are expensive - unbeatable
• Surface: signals are buried in noise - solvable
Frac is the
only tool for
shale gas PROBLEM
production

3. Key to success:
