An Assessment of Hypocenter Errors Associated with the Seismic Monitoring of Induced Hydro-fracturing in Hydrocarbon Reservoirs

Expanding the standard, single-well recording geometry used to monitor seismicity during hydro-fracture treatments could provide more accurate hypocenter locations and seismic velocities, improving general reservoir characterization. However, for the real, two-well data set obtained for this projec...
