Patch microseismic array and method

摘要

Device and method for locating a microseismic event taking place in a subsurface of the earth. The method includes receiving a location of a well; identifying inaccessible locations for seismic receivers on a surface next to the well; 5 distributing patches of the seismic receivers on the surface above the well, and around the inaccessible locations; and recording seismic data with the seismic receivers.
