Source locations provide fundamental information on earthquakes and lay the foundation for
seismic monitoring at all scales. Seismic source location as a classical inverse problem has …

The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …

The structure of the earth has been extensively studied using seismic waves generated by
natural earthquakes and man-made sources. In classical seismology, the earth is …

Unconventional reservoirs such as gas shales and tight gas sands require technology-
based solutions for optimum development. The successful exploitation of these reservoirs …

A brief review is presented of modelling and simulation of HDR geothermal reservoirs both
for hydraulic fracturing/stimulation to create artificial/engineered geothermal reservoirs and …

Over the last few decades, it has become clear that various human activities have the
potential to generate seismic activity. Examples include subsurface waste injection, reservoir …

We present the details of a new method for determining the reflection and scattering
characteristics of seismic energy from subsurface fractured formations. The method is based …

A novel correlation identifying inefficient drilling conditions is presented using experimental
and field data. Historically, Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) has been used to improve the …

Hard coal mining in the area of the Bytom Syncline (Upper Silesia Coal Basin, Poland) has
been associated with the occurrence of high-energy seismic events (up to 10 9 J; local …

A method is decribed where microseismic mapping of hydraulic fractures is improved by
using crosswell data to calibrate and/or verify dipole-sonic velocity data. The microseismic …
