Reservoir imaging using induced microseismicity

Production activities within a hydrocarbon reservoir, such as extracting oil or injecting fluid, result in changes in stress which consequently cause micro-earthquakes. The induced micro-seismic events are small earthquakes producing high frequency waves which can be used to give a hi-resolution ima...
