    摘要: A method for monitoring the movement of fluid through a subsurface formation of interest, comprising: a) providing a set of signals obtained by transmitting seismic waves through the formation of interest and receiving signals emanating from the multi-layered system in response to the seismic waves with one or more receivers located a distance from the seismic source(s), b) identifying one or more critically refracted waves among the signals so as to generate a first data set of refracted signals, c) repeating steps a) and b) after a period of time so as to generate a second data set of refracted signals, d) comparing the second data set to the first data set so as to generate a time-lapse data set, e) imaging the time-lapse data set using travel time tomography; and f) inferring information about the movement of fluid based on the image generated in step e).

    摘要: A method for monitoring a multi-layered system below a surface comprising a slow layer and a fast layer; the method comprising: transmitting one or more seismic waves from one or more seismic sources through the multi-layered system; receiving signals emanating from the multi-layered system in response to the one or more seismic waves with one or more receivers located a distance from the one or more seismic sources; identifying one or more critically refracted compressional (CRC) waves amongst the signals; and inferring information about a change in the slow layer based on the one or more CRC waves; wherein the CRC wave is a refracted wave which has traveled along an interface between the fast layer and an adjacent layer.
