  • Publication number: 20060081412
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring geophysical processes is disclosed. The system may include a component array located within the bore hole of the active well, or, alternatively, in the bore hole of a nearby offset well, or, alternatively, in multiple shallow boreholes in the surface around the active well. The system may include a sensor array located within a bore, wherein the sensor array has at least one tilt sensor and at least one microseismic sensor, a transmitter in communication with the at least one tilt sensor and the at least one microseismic sensor, and a receiver in communication with the transmitter. In one embodiment, data comprising tiltmeter data and microseismic data from a sensor during at least one geophysical process is received.

  • Patent number: 7028772
    Abstract: The treatment well tiltmeter system comprises one or more tiltmeter assemblies which are located within an active treatment well. The treatment well tiltmeter system provides data from the downhole tiltmeters, and can be used to map hydraulic fracture growth or other subsurface processes from the collected downhole tilt data versus time. The system provides tilt data inversion of data from each of the treatment well tiltmeter assemblies, and provides isolation of data signals from noise associated with the treatment well environment. As well, the treatment well tiltmeter system provides geomechanical modeling for treatment well processes.

  • Publication number: 20050062278
    Abstract: A bracket for supporting a fender of a motorcycle can be configured such that a larger tire can be accommodated. For example, the fender bracket can be shaped so as to laterally offset the fender from its original position so that a larger tire can be mounted to the motorcycle and received within the fender. The fender bracket can be included in a kit for replacing the original fender brackets of a motorcycle so as to offset the fender from its original position. Additionally, the kit can include adjustment members for use with original mounting apertures provided on the motorcycle frame so as to allow the fender brackets to be adjusted.
