Semore Seismic has developed a unique range of borehole receivers and software specifically for microseismic monitoring. The processing package, Divine, incorporates all the functions necessary to perform real time automatic and manual processing as well as specialised tomographic and migration functions to image data from microseismic events.

The package is interactive and has a common database so a number of operators can work on the data simultaneously. The specialised microseismic receivers have been designed to cover the range of temperature and pressure ratings required for high resolution networks and are designed to have very long service intervals to minimise network interruptions.

Standard crosshole and surface to borehole engineering seismic surveys for site investigation. Semore possesses unique extended depth tools to acquire crosshole tomography surveys at up to 250m depth. Data acquisition is performed according to ASTM / ISRM recommended methods.

Quality control during data acquisition and processing is ensured by a qualified geophysicist. Real time trace displays are continuously available in the field and are used to monitor the signal to noise ratio of the traces and perform consistency checks between shots. The data are further checked at appropriate intervals to ensure they are adequate for the required interpretation. These checks may involve partial processing of representative portions of the data either in the field or by electronically sending the data to the office.
