Passive Imaging of Seismic Deformation Associated with Injection for Enhanced Recovery

P228 PASSIVE IMAGING OF SEISMIC DEFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH INJECTION FOR ENHANCED RECOVERY Abstract 1 Passive seismic imaging of reservoir deformation is potentially a powerful technique to monitor a number of reservoir operations including injections for enhanced recovery. In this paper we describe two case studies and compare the seismic deformation associated with gas injection in a East Texas field and steam injection in a Western Canada field. The comparison shows that more seismic deformation occurs in the East Texas field compared to the steam injection or that reported in the literature for two compacting North Sea reservoirs which bodes well
