Abstract:
A technique facilitates enhanced microseismic monitoring. In a variety of applications, the technique may be used to enhance the resolvability of moment tensor inversion for ill-conditioned seismic receiver coverage. As a result, microseismic monitoring technique enhances the capability for monitoring many types of naturally occurring and created seismic events. For example, the technique may be employed to enhance hydraulic fracturing monitoring, induced seismicity monitoring, CO2 injection monitoring, other injection monitoring, mining, and/or other techniques which cause microseismic events.
