Abstract

Summary

Localization of seismic event can provide us valuable information about structures activated by, e.g. reservoir stimulation and thus, help us to assess the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing treatment. Stacking-based localization techniques have become well established and widely used in the past decade. In this work we discuss the influence of imaging conditions on localization results. Synthetic tests illustrate their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, an application to a seismological field data from Southern California is presented.
