  • Systems and methods for modeling fracture networks in reservoir volumes from microseismic events
    Patent number: 10422923
    Abstract: A system and method for receiving data associated with a set of microseismic events and a fracture network, the data associated with each microseismic event including a location where, and a time when, the microseismic event was recorded by one or more sensors. Each microseismic event in the set may be added to a fracture network in chronological order of the time when the microseismic event was recorded. Each microseismic event may be added by connecting the event to the fracture network by a fracture according to a connection criterion. A stimulated rock volume may be generated that is defined by an iso-surface of points having a constant distance to the fracture network, wherein the fracture network includes a plurality of microseismic events in the set and a plurality of fractures connecting the plurality of microseismic events according to the connection criterion.
