Our design philosophy is to use as many commercial components as possible and couple geophysical concepts with highly integrated control circuitry.  Further, we take our design guidelines from commercial price targets and use as much as possible our overseas teams to meet these price targets.
 

Our team is responsible for 2 generations of seismic systems fully adapted to controlled source electromagnetic applications.
 

• Gravity/Deep density: The construction of small cost effective down hole gravity sensors becomes for the first time feasible. KMS Technologies is carrying out a Feasibility project that links this technology with down hole reservoir engineering with the goal to develop a complete technology package for the industry.

• EM Permanent Sensor: KMS Technologies has invented a system for mapping changes in fluid content of Earth formations which can be used where there is little acoustic impedance contrast between moved fluids, where the moved fluids are relatively electrically resistive, and which does not require permanently emplaced sensors in substantially every wellbore drilled trough a reservoir.

While we can operate with little acoustic impedance, the integration with seismic is key to our overall direction of linking fluid and porosity monitoring with the exact location in the three-dimensional space.

Case studies:

• Case study: Paris
• Case study: Brazil

• Single Well EM: Based on using multi-component electromagnetic receivers and electric and magnetic field measurements, KMS Technologies derived a system that can read deep (50 - 200 m) in the formation while maintaining high vertical resolution. The system is also integrated with other methods such as seismic and/or DC measurements. Both of which can be used as constraints to allow real time interpretation. The system adds better integration with seismic and array tools as well as LWD. Our patent portfolio in this area is extensive.

We are presently developing a single-well EM system for geosteering applications.

This project is presently funded by a group of selected oil companies and closed to the public.

• Through Casing Resistivity:  We have filed various patents allowing us to develop a Through Casing Resistivity Logging tool. Several have already granted and several more are anticipated.   Our design strategy is based around fully digital, multi- sensor acquisition, which will eventually yield a moving through casing resistivity logging tool.

We are presently seeking interested parties to develop this technology.
