Seismic Signal Location Programnfor the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory's Dry Hot Rock Geothermal Project

摘要

During hydraulic fracturing, seismic signals produced as the fracture grows may be used to determine orientation, size, and shape of the fracture. This seismic signal location program has been written to utilize such signals, along with an experimentally determined seismic velocity model to help deter¬mine the fracture orientation, size, and shape.
