Background

MicroSeismic has proprietary technologies which enable passive surface-based microseismic monitoring and imaging for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Passive seismic makes use of existing, often naturally occurring, sound sources, rather than dynamite or vibrators. Passive seismic can go where conventional seismic can’t and sees not only the structure in 3-D but also detects fluid movement, fracturing and fault movement. MicroSeismic’s technology offers a compelling value proposition of increased production of hydrocarbons and/or increased operating efficiency to exploration and production companies.

Our Partnership

By using Microseismic’s passive surface seismic monitoring technology, oil and gas producers can access more valuable information about reservoir behavior than ever before. In Peter Duncan, the founder and CEO, we saw a brilliant geophysicist and a canny businessman, who had taken a scientific idea and turned it into to a profitable enterprise with huge potential for growth. Since investing in 2006, RockPort’s connections and understanding of the industry have helped the company to attract a top tier client list and explore expansion plans in the US and around the world.
