    • Fracture quality images from 4D VSP and microseismic data at Jonah Field, WY. 

      Willis, Mark E.; Willis, Kent M.; Burns, Daniel R.; Shemeta, Julie; House, Nancy J. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2009)
      Natural and induced fractures provide the only means of production in tight gas sand reservoirs. The objective of this work is to locate and characterize natural and induced fractures from the analysis of scattered waves ...

    • Hydraulic fracture quality from time lapse VSP and microseismic data 

      House, N. J.; Shemeta, J.; Willis, Mark E.; Willis, Kent M.; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2008)
      The ability to produce from low permeability, tight gas reservoirs is directly tied to the ability to repetitively perform successful hydraulic fracturing in a series of closely spaced wells. The key question is whether ...
