After the successful seismic monitoring and geothermal stimulation experiment in Helsinki, Finland, ASIR was asked to provide, install, and maintain seismic monitoring equipment for an EGS (Enhanced Geothermal System) pilot project in Malmö, Sweden. The project is aiming to feed into Malmö’s district heating network by collecting hot water (up Read more…
As an example of the range of its current capabilities, ASIR was selected to fabricate, install, maintain, and support the advanced seismic monitoring system for an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in Espoo, Finland. This selection was in part based on our previous successful installation and monitoring of the Basel Engineered Read more…
Despite cultural and environmental noise suppression advantages, borehole seismometers have not had wide application to seismological networks. The obstacle has been the expense of drilling large diameter boreholes to overcome instrument-bandwidth limitations and borehole tilts. However, if available and in well enough condition, abandonded oil or water wells can be Read more…
STIMTEC is a hydraulic STIMulation experiment with periodic pumping intervals in crystalline rock under controlled conditions in an abandoned silver mine in Freiberg, Germany. By using high-resolution seismic monitoring, the goal is to investigate and improve both these real-time monitoring TEChnologies and prediction models for fluid flow in crystalline rock. Read more…
