Induced microseismics applications from global earthquake studies

Cel

This TOK Industry-Academia Partnership Scheme project proposes a two-way transfer of knowledge between petroleum industry and global earthquake seismology.

The project will benefit petroleum industry by developing tools and techniques for seismic monitoring of gas and oil reservoirs (hydraulic fracture monitoring and passive seismic) to control rock fracturing, optimize the reservoir production, prolong life of existing reservoirs, and mitigate hazard associated with the occurrence of induced microearthquakes. The seismic monitoring will substantially help to solve geomechanical problems in petroleum industry, such as imaging deformations associated with primary production, secondary recovery or waste injection operations.

Earthquake seismology will benefit from the project by having an access to high-quality data of seismicity in reservoirs and a unique opportunity:
- to study fluid-driven seismicity, in particular, rock-fluid interactions and the role of pore-fluid pressure in seismicity pattern and in triggering of earthquakes by fluid flow, and
- to inspect rupture processes in a field scale and under controlled conditions.

The project promotes synergy between some of the best academic institutions in the newly joining EU Member State (Charles University and Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic) with one of a top industry-oriented private research centre in the West Europe (Schlumberger Cambridge Research), having thus a capacity to produce excellent results reputable in the world.

The project promotes a collaboration of EU academic and industrial partners with a top U.S.A. expert in hydraulic fracture monitoring J. Rutledge from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, who will be an external advisor of the project. The project will be supervised by the rock mechanics guru Prof. F. Comet, presently coordinating research in Corinth Rift Laboratory and having an extensive experience with large-scale academic EU.
