Microseismic Processing
An Innovative Solution
The main objective for micro seismic monitoring is in near real time or offline to analyze micro seismic data (events) in oil and gas reservoirs. The events will provide rapid and user friendly information for monitoring the reservoir development during production and/or hydro fracturing experiments.
Micro seismic data can provide important information about the movement of the water fronts during fluid injection and they can contribute to the mapping of small fault zones which can not be seen in more conventional seismic data. This information is vital for reservoir management, optimum re injection of produced water and proper treatment of the downhole well flow.
To handle micro seismic or hydro fracture monitoring, the data analysis can be divided into three major steps; Detect events and their locations and analysis of source parameters.
