Founded in January 2010 the Microseismic Industry Consortium is a novel, applied-research geophysical initiative dedicated to the advancement of research, education and technological innovations in microseismic methods and their practical applications for resource development. Working with industry partners and government agencies, the Consortium is a team of faculty, students and researchers hosted by the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta. Taking advantage of multidisciplinary links to researchers at both universities, the Microseismic Industry Consortium benefits from access to specialists in a variety of related disciplines. Our research vision encompasses data acquisition, processing and interpretation within a multidisciplinary research environment. As the project evolves, specific research goals and objectives have been developed in close consultation with industry sponsors. Key aspects of our research vision include the following:
Dave Eaton's inaugural presentation for his CSEG Distinguished Lecture tour which will be held on Thursday, September 12, 3:30pm - 4:40pm at the Earth Sciences building (ES162), University of Calgary. (Detail see https://science.ucalgary.ca/events#!view/day/date/20190912).
The presentation is titled ''Crustal Fluids, Friction and Faults: What can we learn from injection-induced earthquakes?''. It will include recent research that has been part of the Microseismic Industry Consortium over the years.
David Eaton will be giving the CSEG Distinguished Lecture tour this year (2019-2020). Here is a link to the abstract: https://cseg.ca/education/view/crustal-fluids-friction-and-faults-what-can-we-learn-from-injection-induced
The University of Alberta is conducting a public survey on the Oil and Gas Industry in Western Canada. Survey is completely anonymous and will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Please go to the website below for more information and to participate!
We are interested in your views and experiences with the oil and gas industry in western Canada! Results will be shared with industry and regulators, and may inform policy recommendations.
