Abstract
D-41 TRACKING NATURAL GAS INJECTIONS IN A RESERVOIR USING MICROSEISMICITY Abstract 1 T.I. URBANCIC 1 S.C. MAXWELL 1 and DAVID JOHNSTON 2 1 Engineering Seismology Group (ESG) 1 Hyperion Court Kingston ON K7K 7G3 Canada In this paper we describe how near surface well arrays (~ 500 m maximum depth) initially deployed as part of proposed time lapse surveys in the Talco Oil Field Texas provided an opportunity to establish the feasibly of employing permanent arrays to record microseismicity generated during an EOR gas flood. Continuous monitoring was carried between June 2001 and January 2002. By assuming that events recorded
