Groundmetrics

GroundMetrics offers advanced subsurface surveying and imaging services, primarily to the oil and gas industry. Our work also has applications in the areas of mineral and geothermal exploration and CO2 sequestration. The company’s unique technology and innovative approach unlock new applications and markets.

Make Small & Large Surveys Feasible

Wireless communications combined with capacitive sensors enable fast acquisition and rapid cycle time making small and large surveys (one to hundreds of miles in size) feasible.

Operate in Most Terrains & Environments

The use of capacitive sensors, which don’t require an electrochemical interaction with the earth, make operations in most terrains and environments possible. They can even operate in arid regions, something not feasible with industry standard electromagnetic sensors.
These sensors are non-invasive and operate 100% at the surface.

Increase Lateral Range

Placing the source/transmitter counter electrode on the surface at a significant distance* away from the wellbore casing greatly increases the lateral range of the electric-field (>2 miles, >3 km) in all directions radiating 360 degrees away from the wellbore casing.

Acquire Multi-Mile Resistivity Data

Deploying the sensors at the surface and counter electrodes also at the surface but at a significant distance away from the wellbore allows data to be acquired between and far beyond well bores.

Enables Time-Lapse Surveys

Unparalleled precision and stability throughout the signal chain allow for monitoring via time-lapse surveys.

Permanent Installation

Such precision and stability combined with capacitive sensors that are immune to environmental changes mean the system can be installed permanently for ongoing monitoring.
