Abstract
Scott A. Wessels, Alejandro De La Peña, Michael Kratz, Sherilyn Williams-Stroud and Terry Jbeili of Microseismic describe how in microseismic monitoring of low permeability reservoirs the use of source mechanism inversion, b values, and energy release rates enables identification and differentiation between fracture stimulation and fault activation, critical issues for effective hydraulic treatment.
