An Advanced Geomechanics Simulation Framework to Connect Induced Microseismic Events to their Sources. CRADA TC02193 Final Report
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
This was a collaborative effort between Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC as manager and operator of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and ION Geophysical. The main goal of the proposed effort was to develop industry-leading state of the art modeling and analysis capabilities to address an important aspect of hydraulic fracturing operations -- the evolution of the fracture network in the subsurface and the associated generation of the microseismic signals associated with the creation of the fracture network. The proposed effort leveraged on-going code development activities at LLNL. The codes used to execute the proposed research were to be transitioned to ION Geophysical through a visitor exchange program whereby ION Geophysical employees would visit LLNL and interact with the code developers and subject matter experts enabling them to develop the technical understanding and the expertise needed to independently perform simulations and analyze results.
