A method for determining spatial distribution of permeability in a subsurface formation using passive seismic signals includes determining a spatial distribution of a fracture network generated by the pumping of hydraulic fracturing fluid using detected seismic signals resulting from the pumping. A bulk permeability of the fracture network is determined using the detected seismic signals. A formation permeability is determined in each cell of a cellular grid containing the fracture network resulting from the pumping of the hydraulic fracturing fluid. The calculated formation permeability in each cell is then scaled such that the average formation permeability is substantially equal to the bulk permeability to calculate the permeability distribution. |
