WAVEFORM-BASED SEISMIC LOCALIZATION WITH QUANTIFIED UNCERTAINTY

摘要

A method, a system, and a computer readable medium for analyzing a wavelet within a seismic signal are described herein. The method includes receiving a seismic signal from a seismic receiver, such as a geophone, and using a Bayesian probability method to determine an associated arrival time for the wavelet and determine an uncertainty for the arrival time of the wavelet. The method has application in hydraulic fracturing monitoring operations and in spatially mapping fractures.
