Abstract
A case study of microseismic monitoring using extensive data from two different seismic networks in a petroleum field in Oman is presented. Spatial-temporal analysis of these microearthquake locations reveals fault structures, identifies causes of induced seismicity and fault reactivation. Shear-wave splitting analyis is used to map anisotropy and the stress direction in the reservoir.
