Microseismic Multistage Formation Hydraulic Fracturing (MFHF) Monitoring Analysis Results

Abstract:

Microseismic monitoring of hydrocarbon fields is one of the promising areas of modern seismology. In recent years, the methodology of microseismic monitoring for seismic emission has been actively developing in the oil and gas industry in order to study the impact of various technogenic processes on the hydrocarbon (HC) fields being developed. The technology does not require powerful sources of sounding signals, but uses constantly existing weak seismic fields of artificial or natural origin. During the development of the field, periodic monitoring of the intensity and spatial position of the zones of microseismic activity allows controling the behavior of HC deposits in order to optimize their development. Distinctive features of this technology are high mobility, fast deployment time, high resolution, and low cost of receiving, transferring and processing of microseismic data. The purpose was to analyze the results and evaluate the effectiveness of MFHF using microseismic monitoring of seismic emission processes. The results were obtained with the help of quantitative microseismic monitoring of seismic foci occurring successively near the well ports at different times during MFHF.
