NOV and Seismos announce strategic partnership for the global distribution of real-time friction analysis technology



Seismos and NOV have announced a strategic partnership to distribute Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA™) globally through the Max Completions™ data platform. This multi-year collaboration advances the industry’s ability to monitor and optimize hydraulic fracturing performance in real time and builds on the industry’s shared vision of a digital oilfield.


Seismos’ patented technology requires only a surface sensor to output real-time perforation efficiency, uniformity index, and overall flow distribution data without the need for downhole tools. NOV’s Max Completions aligns disparate data sources into a single contextualized data stream for real-time access, analytics, and reporting, improving operational efficiency and financial performance.


Max Completions seamlessly integrates Seismos’ real-time friction analysis technology with NOV’s digital and hardware solutions to continuously monitor pressure data during stimulation. This combination provides operators with critical insights otherwise obtained through costly downhole tools, such as fiber optics.


We are excited to have Seismos as a Max Partner and provide our customers with immediate access to crucial subsurface and surface metrics. Leveraging contextual, real-time, and calculated data enables them to make well-informed optimization decisions during the stage - Travis Thomas, Vice President, Digital Completions (CTES), NOV

"We are excited to join forces with NOV and make the Seismos real-time friction analysis technology

accessible to the global markets,” said Steven Bourgoyne, Director of Operations at Seismos. “This

partnership addresses the challenge of data aggregation, enabling edge processing and real-time subsurface intelligence for our customers around the world. Together, we provide a scalable, cost-effective solution that enhances decision-making, reduces operational costs, and boosts production efficiency across all assets.”

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.

AUSTIN - SEISMOS INC, leader in advanced acoustic sensing and non-invasive monitoring systems, announced today a partnership with Liberty Energy to expand the toolset for real-time quality control of stimulation performance. Liberty and Seismos will focus on maximizing value to E&P operators by offering the Seismos-MWF™ (Measurements While Fracturing) QC and analytics system alongside Liberty’s completion services. Through a simple surface connection, without a need for downhole equipment or offset well instrumentation, the Seismos-MWF™ system uses active controlled acoustics to directly probe the near-wellbore fracture network, providing a Near Field Connectivity Index (NFCI) for each stage. The connectivity between the fracture system and the wellbore can be an important contributor to productivity at both the well and stage level thus providing information on the quality of the fracture stimulation. The extended data collection of the Seismos-MWF™ system after each stage also allows for better fracture model calibration with pressure decline data. This QC metric is used to benchmark in real-time every stimulated stage & well against the best producing wells of a similar geological and reservoir profile. The NFCI targets, ‘trained’ by a database of 15,000+ stage measurements and production repository, are fine-tuned for the localized acreage and continuously re-calibrated as new production data becomes available, helping Liberty customers optimize fracture designs, make changes while completing the well and improve well performance. ”We are excited to offer the Seismos-MWF™ system, a completions quality control tool that complements our industry leading portfolio of fracture optimization technologies,” said Dr. Mike Mayerhofer, Director of Technology at Liberty. “The Seismos-MWF™ system can provide a cost-effective measurement of stimulation quality in each stage and well. If NFCI falls well below target while completing the well, design or perforation changes can be made to improve NFCI on the subsequent stages.” Panos Adamopoulos, CEO of Seismos stated, “Every stage counts. The biggest limitation to real-time fracture optimization was the lack of practical, cost-effective technologies that can be applied in every well as mainstream practice. We are thrilled to partner with Liberty, a team of experts setting the standards for engineering and customer delivery in our industry.” About Seismos Inc.
