| Microseismic monitoring has a role to play because the failure of the rock strata causes microseismic emissions. |
| Microseismic activity is measured by placing an array of geophones in a nearby wellbore. |
| Microseismic mapping is very similar geophysically to seismology. |
| Monitoring of microseismic events induced by reservoir The next task is to know the location of proppant within the fracture and the distribution of fracture conductivity. |
| For more advanced applications, microseismic monitoring is sometimes used to estimate the size and orientation of induced fractures. |
| Microseismic technology involves lowering detectors into a listening well near a fracked well. |
