Use of Full Azimuth Seismic and Microseismic for Unconventional Plays
This course covers how azimuthal surface seismic can be used to evaluate fractured reservoirs and intervals that need hydraulic stimulation, from survey design through processing and interpretation. It also examines what microseismic imaging of hydraulic fractures can and cannot reveal, and how to integrate supporting well and production data.
