Using Microseismicity for Monitoring Fluid Paths and Movement in Subsurface Reserviors
The Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC) project Using Microseismicity for Monitoring Fluid Paths and Movement in Subsurface Reserviors develops a direct passive seismic tool to study seismic monitoring of fluid paths and cavities; existing indirect methods use temperature and pressure measurements. Direct methods are needed to improve accuracy but currently lack reliabi... Read more >
