Seismic characterization of reservoirs with variable fracture spacing by double focusing Gaussian beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
Fractured reservoirs account for a majority of the oil production worldwide and often have low recovery rate. Fracture characterization is important in building reservoir flow models for enhanced oil recovery. Information ...
A unified Bayesian framework for relative microseismic location
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
We study the problem of determining an unknown microseismic event location relative to previously located events using a single monitoring array in a monitoring well. We show that using the available information about the ...
Estimating the fracture density of small-scale vertical fractures when large-scale vertical fractures are present
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
When fractures are vertical, aligned and their dimensions are small relative to the seismic wavelength, the medium can be considered to be an equivalent Horizontal Transverse Isotropic (HTI) medium. However, geophysical ...
