Shale gas seismic monitoring and data evaluation

Peer reviewed paper on optimum microseismic reservoir monitoring network design and data evaluation procedures for high-resolution near real-time microseismic monitoring of reservoir stimulation. Aim: External peer review and public dissemination of research on optimum seismic monitoring and data evaluation procedures during shale gas exploitation. Scope: Detailed knowledge and optimum procedure for seismic monitoring are the most important means of “imaging” subsurface perturbations due to shale gas operations.
