Abstract
The invention centralizes data acquired through active or passive monitoring equipments installed permanently in contact with a geologic formation and notably in wells, under the control of one or several permanent stations (PCL) comprising microcomputers. The signals collected by these stations including spontaneous or induced seismic signals, parameters measured by condition sensors, etc., are converted and transferred onto a communication network managed by a server. The signals are translated into a common format more easily accessible for a seismic laboratory taking part in the processing of the data collected by the various monitoring equipments.
