Abstract:
Monitoring of passive seismic sources generated by mining activities and hydraulic fracturing has an important role in hazard analysis and in development of unconventional reservoirs. Surface arrays are vastly used in such monitoring scenarios with the advantage of wider spatial monitoring aperture, thus monitoring larger volumes over downhole arrays. However, signal-to-noise ratio of surface array records is naturally low. That makes application of coherency-based techniques an appropriate option for surface monitoring.
