  • Summary

    Microseismic monitoring, an extension of classical earthquake seismology, has found many applications in the resource industry. In particular, it has become an essential tool for observing the results of hydraulic fracturing on unconventional reservoirs, without which the reservoirs are not economic. Such monitoring allows for direct observation of the effectiveness of the well treatment, for the selection of improved treatment parameters, and contributes to the overall field development plan. Data from microseismic monitoring contributes to the understanding of the stimulated reservoir model, the drainage volume of individual wells, estimated production, production interference and the stress in the reservoir. This chapter presents an introduction to how these data are acquired, analysed and integrated with other data to affect a successful well completion and field development program.

  • Mathematical modelling of Wairakei geothermal field is reviewed, both lumped-parameter and distributed-parameter models. In both cases it is found that reliable predictions require five to ten years of history for calibration. With such calibration distributed-parameter models are now used for field management. A prudent model of Wairakei, constructed without such historical data, would underestimate field capacity and provide only general projections of the type of changes in surface activity and subsidence.
