Passive Seismic Towards Hydrocarbons Prospecting
Using the Earth's natural micro-seismic activity it's possible to evaluate the existence of subsurface hydrocarbon reservoirs. The data are analyzed using the spectrum density of seismic vibrations recorded on the surface. The spectral signature of hydrocarbons is typical . The method is fast and covers large areas. In this field Berrocal & Associados has been involving many researchers.
Seismographic Monitoring of Hydroelectric Reservoirs and Large Dams
One of the specialties of Berrocal & Associados is the monitoring and instrumental study of the induced seismic activity in the vicinity of hydroelectric reservoirs, dams and major risk areas. The instrumental responce is important for barriers' safety and environmental agencies and local population enlightenment.
Seismic Risk Evaluation for Large Engineering Projects
One of the main Berrocal & Associados acting areas is the seismic risk assessment to determine the maximum acceleration level of seismic vibrations that can attain major works such as hydroelectric dams, tailings dams and nuclear power plants during their life cycle.
Geophysical Software Development
Berrocal & Associados counts with a experienced group in developing intelligent algorithms using artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms, and data processing software for large amounts of information analysis. In this area, we offer services from complex geophysical troubleshooting consulting to own software commercialization.
Geophysical Instrumentation
The lack of national geophysical equipment manufacturers, allied to the high prices charged by foreign companies, led Berrocal & Associados to work in the geophysical instrumentation area, both in adaptation and maintenance of used equipment and in research and development of national equipment with technology equal or superior to imported ones. In addition we offer specialized consultancy in analog and digital instrumentation.
Geotectonic Surveys
The Berrocal & Associados researchers' experience in tectonic studies allows us to offer advisory services in the formulation, implementation, operation and coordination of regional tectonic studies in the country and abroad, in order to determine the structural model of the crust and upper mantle, using surveys of deep reflection and refraction seismic data, local and regional earthquakes, and teleseismic data .
Informative
"Iguaçu Falls - The company Refraction Technology Inc. (REFTEK), a leading manufacturer of seismic equipment in the United States, has chosen Berrocal & Associados as a representative for sales, maintenance and development of technological equipment exclusively for the Brazilian market.
The partnership was announced in August, Foz do Iguacu, during a cocktail party ..."
