The Challenge: Today’s Sensors Weren’t Built for This

Current extraction rates range from 10–15% for unconventional resources — but improved reservoir characterization could increase recovery by 20–25%, potentially yielding 67–100% more oil with minimal additional cost.

Reservoir characterization depends on seismic surveillance for subsurface imaging — but the tools most operators rely on were designed before modern AI workflows and extreme-environment deployments became the norm. Three gaps define the problem:

Incomplete signal picture: Most current sensing systems record data along a single axis. Without true three-component (3C) vector measurements, AI models have access to only part of the seismic wavefield.
Temperature limits: Standard electronic sensors degrade above 150°C. High-temperature options — where they exist — come with prohibitive cost and limited availability.
Deployment constraints: Wireline tool strings are expensive and incompatible with complex well configurations, restricting where and how long monitoring can be performed.

GeoLite was built to close all three gaps simultaneously.

MagiQ GeoLite™: One System. Three Problems Solved.

GeoLite is a multi-component 3C fiber optic seismic sensor system designed for advanced data acquisition in borehole environments. It is the only system that combines full-vector sensitivity, extreme-environment durability, and flexible deployment within a single passive downhole architecture.

Full 3C vector data: Captures complete seismic and microseismic signals along all three axes — giving AI interpretation algorithms the rich, multi-dimensional input they need.
Built for extreme environments: Passive optical construction — glass and steel only — enables long-term deployment at high temperature and high pressure where electronic sensors cannot operate.
Fits any well geometry: A 1-inch diameter profile allows installation in the narrow annulus between casing and production or injection tubing, without wireline constraints.

The small sensor OD and innovative clamping mechanism enables the system to monitor the environment from flowing wells, eliminating the need for drilling monitoring wells and, consequently, saving operators tens of millions of dollars.

How It Works

GeoLite’s proprietary optical interrogator sends light pulses through fiber and measures motion at picometer scale across hundreds of sensors simultaneously.

3C Sensor Array

The system is engineered to be insensitive to noise sources that degrade competing fiber systems — cable pickup, fiber darkening, and polarization drift — maintaining a consistently low noise floor and high sampling rate throughout the deployment lifetime. The result is cleaner, richer data delivered continuously to the surface, with no downhole electronics to service, replace, or pull from the well.

Who Needs It

Oil & Gas Operators

Petroleum and natural gas producers seeking to improve reservoir characterization, maximize extraction from existing wells, and reduce the cost of long-term subsurface monitoring programs.

Energy Service Providers

Data acquisition companies providing seismic services to operators who demand higher-fidelity data for AI-driven interpretation — and need a sensor system that works in geometries conventional tools cannot reach.

Geothermal Operators

Operators monitoring high-temperature geothermal reservoirs where electronic sensors are unsuitable and long-term passive surveillance is essential to understanding reservoir performance.
