Abstract

In a time when every penny counts it is critical for operators to become more efficient in all activities. This includes determining the best approach for microseismic monitoring during hydraulic fracturing. Surface microseismic monitoring measurements are particularly suited for determining rock failure mechanisms, such as dip-slip or strike slip failures. Coupled with the ability to acquire these measurements and determine the failure mechanisms in real time during fracturing operations, allows operators to take actions to deal with costly geohazards. In this case study, the methodology related to data acquisition methods, and analysis and interpretation from microseismic monitoring to determine possible fault locations will be explained.
