Focal Mechanism Determination Using High Frequency Waveform Matching and Its Application to Small Magnitude Induced Earthquakes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
We present a new method using high frequency full waveform information to determine the
focal mechanisms of small, local earthquakes monitored by a sparse surface network. During the
waveform inversion, we maximize both ...
Downhole microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fracturing: a full-waveform approach for complete moment tensor inversion and stress estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
Downhole microseismics has gained in popularity in recent years as a way to characterize hydraulic fracturing sources and to estimate in-situ stress state. Conventional approaches only utilize part of the information ...
Focal Mechanism Determination of Induced Microearthquakes in an Oil Field Using Full Waveforms from Shallow and Deep Seismic Networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011-05-09)
A new, high frequency, full waveform matching method is used to study the focal
mechanisms of small, local earthquakes induced in an oil field, which are monitored by a sparse near-surface network and a deep borehole ...
Full-waveform Based Complete Moment Tensor Inversion and Stress Estimation from Downhole Microseismic Data for Hydrofracture Monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
Downhole microseismics has gained increasing popularity in recent years as a way to characterize hydraulic fracturing and to estimate in-situ stress state. Conventional approaches only utilize part of the information ...
Full-waveform Based Microseismic Event Detection and Signal Enhancement: The Subspace Approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
Microseismic monitoring has proven to be an invaluable tool for optimizing hydraulic fracturing stimulations and monitoring reservoir changes. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the recorded microseismic data varies ...
