FractVis: Visualizing Microseismic Events
We present our efforts of applying information visualization techniques to the domain of microseismic monitoring. Microseismic monitoring is a crucial process for a number of tasks related to oil and gas reservoir development, e.g., optimizing hydraulic fracturing operations and heavy-oil stimulation. Microseismic data has many challenging features including high dimensionality and uncertainty....
متن کاملTriggering processes of microseismic events associated with water injection in Okuaizu Geothermal Field, Japan
A continuous water injection test was conducted to halt the reduction in steam production in the Okuaizu Geothermal Field, Japan. Understanding the factors triggering microseismicity associated with water injection is essential to ensuring effective steam production. We identified possible triggering processes by applying methods based on microseismic monitoring, including a new method to deter...
متن کاملVisualizing highly multidimensional time varying Microseismic Events
Making decisions about improving an oil and gas reservoir model based upon microseismic data is a difficult challenge for reservoir engineers and analysts. These difficulties arise because the available data contains inaccuracies, has high-dimensionality and has a high degree of uncertainty. Currently these difficulties are intensified by the lack of computational tools to support interactive v...
متن کاملRupture Directivity Characteristics of the 2003 Big Bear Sequence
Abstract We have developed a forward modeling technique to retrieve rupture characteristics of small earthquakes (3 < M < 5), including rupture propagation direction, fault dimension, and rupture speed. The technique is based on an empirical Green’s function (EGF) approach, where we use data from collocated smaller events as Green’s functions to study the bigger events. We tend to choose smalle...
متن کاملDesigning multi-well layout for enhanced geothermal system to better exploit hot dry rock geothermal energy
Heat extraction mode, e.g. well layout or arrangement of wells, of enhanced or engineered geothermal system (EGS) is crucial to its performance and directly affects its commercial viability. Assuming the subsurface target hot dry rock (HDR) has been well-fractured and the created heat reservoir can be treated as a homogeneous porous medium, we numerically simulate the long-term heat extraction ...
