Characterisation of Uncertainties in Microseismic Monitoring through Analysis of Numerically Modelled Events

Passive monitoring of induced microseismic (MS) events provides a unique means for imaging fracture propagation in response to engineering operations. Particularly during hydraulic treatment of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs rock MS monitoring provides feedback to field operators on the effect of the treatment and the changes imposed on the fracture network and fluid conductivity within the rock.
