Next Generation Microseismic Processing for Distributed Acoustic Sensing Data

Reference number
Coordinator Rocksigma AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 600 000
Project duration August 2024 - June 2025
Status Ongoing
Venture The strategic innovation programme for Swedish mining and metal producing industry - SIP Swedish Mining Innovation

Important results from the project

The objective has been achieved and exceeded. We have validated the solution in a full-scale mine environment. In addition, we have been able to make an entry-level commercial deal as we receive compensation for the pilot project we are carrying out at the mine. With the project, we have also been able to get significantly closer to DFOS/DAS vendors, negotiating partnerships. With these partnerships, we will be able to reach other markets and applications than underground mining.

Expected long term effects

We will have the opportunity to play an important role in introducing DFOS/DAS for microseismic in the mining market while opening windows to other markets. The commercial significance of this could be significant for the company.

Approach and implementation

The project consisted of five work packages, all of which were largely completed according to plan. The largest work has been technical, with development (wp2), integration (wp3), testing (wp3) and field testing (wp4). We reached the field testing opportunity faster than expected, which enabled a more iterative work with development, testing and integration. This led to us reaching the goals ahead of schedule.
