Seismix is a startup company specializing in innovative seismic monitoring services with a special focus on energy-related and engineering applications. Our sophisticated methodologies enable the efficient monitoring of seismic activity and ground deformation in challenging contexts.
One of our core services is the continuous 24/7 real-time monitoring of microseismicity, which is particularly important to ensure the safety of industrial activities such as mining, geothermal energy exploitation, conventional and non-conventional hydrocarbon production, Underground Gas Storage (UGS) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations. Such activities can alter the shallow crust stress field and have the potential to trigger seismicity, reducing the public acceptance of these industrial operations. In this context, induced seismicity has a deep socio-economic impact since it is one of the major obstacles to the development of energy-related projects.
Microseismicity datasets are characterized by a massive number of weak events often separated by very short inter-event times. In such situations, traditional processing methods often fail in properly identify and characterize seismic events, leading to wrong results and interpretations. Seismix addresses this challenge by employing cutting-edge algorithms specifically tailored for microseismic monitoring.
Seismix services cover every aspect of microseismic monitoring, spanning from site characterization and network design to real-time data analysis and quantitative interpretation of seismicity supported by physics-based models. Founded by professionals with backgrounds in both academia and industry, Seismix is committed to delivering services that align with the latest scientific research and industrial standards.
Our team includes seismologists, geophysicists, and geologists with a solid academic background providing a multidisciplinary environment ready to solve the most challenging tasks.
