METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING MICROSEISMIC EVENT LOCATIONS

摘要

A problem with current approaches to displaying microseismic events is that the greater the event energy, the more accurately the event can be localized- it has greater amplitude, and can better overcome the background noise, As a result, it is misleading to plot energetic events with markers that span larger volumes, Aspects of the invention account for the statistics of the event location estimates, so that poorly localized events occupy a large area (say plotted with a light shade), and accurately localized events appear only in a small area about the estimate (say, plotted in a dark shade).
