An efficient stimulated reservoir area (SRA) estimation method based on octree decomposition of microseismic events

Impacts of fracture properties on the formation and development of stimulated reservoir volume: A global sensitivity analysis

“…Currently available methods to estimate SRV include microseismic monitoring, tiltmeter measurement, electromagnetic imaging and numerical models. Microseismic monitoring records real-time seismic signals and estimate the approximate range of three-dimensional (3D) SRV from the microseismicity map (Warpinski et al, 2001;Maxwell et al, 2002;Fisher et al, 2004;Maxwell et al, 2009;Warpinski et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2021). Microseismic events are created mainly by shear slippages of natural fractures around hydrofractures (Albright et al, 1982;Warpinski et al, 2001;Rutledge and Phillips, 2003).…”
