The last decade has seen a significantly increased interest in microseismic monitoring by
the hydrocarbon industry due to the recent surge in unconventional resources such as shale …

To investigate the acoustic emission characteristic of rock under different compressive
loading rates, a numerical approach using the bonded-particle model (BPM) is adopted in …

Hydraulic fracturing treatments are often monitored by strings of geophones deployed in
boreholes. Instead of picking discrete events only, we here use time‐frequency …

Hydraulic fracturing, natural fracture reactivation and resulting induced microseismicity are
interconnected phenomena involved in shale gas exploitation. Due to their multi-physics …

The punch through shear test is a laboratory test used to determine the shear fracture
toughness K IIC in rock. In this paper, the punch-through shear test was simulated using a …

Fracture seismic is the method for recording and analyzing passive seismic data for
mapping the fractures in the subsurface. Fracture seismic is able to map the fractures …

Three groups of resonances are observed during a two‐stage hydraulic experiment
recorded by 12 three‐component geophones. The injected fluid is composed of a slurry of …

The Heishan geothermal area is located at southern area of the gigantic rock body of the
Lincang Granite in western Yunnan, where the groundwater system and geothermal fluids …

The statistics and dynamics of fractures formed during the accelerated maturation of kerogen-
rich shale was investigated by heating Green River Shale (R-8 unit, Piceance Basin …

The analysis of microseismic events is one of a few tools available for characterizing
processes that occur within the subsurface. We have developed a method for modeling …
