Seismic imaging of hydraullically-stimulated fractures: A numerical study of the effect of the source mechanism 

Shabelansky, Andrey Hanan; Malcolm, Alison E.; Fehler, Michael; Bakku, Sudhish Kumar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
We present a numerical study of seismic imaging of hydraulically stimulated fractures using a single source from an adjacent fracturing-process. The source is either a point force generated from the perforation of the ...

Estimation of fracture compliance from tubewaves generated at a fracture intersecting a borehole 

Bakku, Sudhish Kumar; Fehler, Michael; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
Understanding fracture compliance is important for characterizing fracture networks and for inferring fluid flow in the subsurface. In an attempt to estimate fracture compliance in the field, we developed a new model to ...

Double-beam stacking to infer seismic properties of fractured reservoirs 

Zheng, Yingcai; Fang, Xinding; Fehler, Michael; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
We develop a theory for using 3D beam interference to infer scattering properties of a fractured reservoir using reflected seismic P data. For the sake of simplicity, we use Gaussian beams. The scattering properties are ...

Seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs using 3D double beams 

Zheng, Yingcai; Fang, Xinding; Fehler, Michael; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
We propose an efficient target-oriented method to characterize seismic properties of fractured reservoirs: the spacing between fractures and the fracture orientation. We use both singly scattered and multiply scattered ...

Estimating the fracture density of small-scale vertical fractures when large-scale vertical fractures are present 

Liu, Yuwei; Fehler, Michael; Fang, Xinding; Liu, Cai (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 ...

Hydraulic Fracture Monitoring: A Jonah Field Case Study 

Seher, T.; Rondenay, Stephane; Djikpesse, H. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
Hydraulic fracturing involves the injection of a fluid to fracture oil and gas reservoirs, and thus increase their permeability. The process creates numerous microseismic events, which can be used to monitor subsurface ...

Sensitivity of time lapse seismic data to the compliance of hydraulic fractures 

Fang, Xinding; Shang, Xuefeng; Fehler, Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
We study the sensitivity of seismic waves to changes in the fracture normal and tangential compliances by analyzing the fracture sensitivity wave equation, which is derived by differentiating the elastic wave equation with ...

Seismic characterization of reservoirs with variable fracture spacing by double focusing Gaussian beams 

Zheng, Yingcai; Fang, Xinding; Fehler, Michael (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 ...

Simulating Shear Wave Propagation in Two-Dimensional Fractured Heterogeneous Media by Coupling Boundary Element and Finite Difference Methods 

Chen, Tianrun; Li, Junlun; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
A hybrid method to model the shear wave (SH) scattering from 2D fractures embedded in a heterogeneous medium is developed by coupling Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Different Method (FDM) in the frequency domain. ...

Interferometric hydrofracture microseism localization using neighboring fracture 

Poliannikov, Oleg V.; Malcolm, Alison E.; Djikpesse, Hugues; Prange, Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011-05-19)
Hydraulic fracturing is the process of injecting high-pressure fluids into a reservoir to induce fractures and thus improve reservoir productivity. Microseismic event localization is used to locate created fractures. ...
