Passive seismic monitoring wells detecting hydraulic steam fractures

schematic of portion of inverted 7-spot well patternPassive seismic monitoring wells can detect hydraulic fractures in formation that have been stimulated with steam injection. But this applicant convinced the AER that they were not needed for his CSS project. In the application, he describes reasons that the monitoring wells are not necessary, and where they have been used successfully.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers. AppIntel can help you find them.
