  • Publication number: 20190277124
    Abstract: A method may comprise: modeling a complex fracture network within the subterranean formation with a mathematical model based on a natural fracture network map and measured data of the subterranean formation collected in association with a fracturing treatment of the subterranean formation to produce a complex fracture network map; importing microseismic data collected in association with the fracturing treatment of the subterranean formation into the mathematical model; identifying directions of continuity in the microseismic data via a geostatistical analysis that is part of the mathematical model; and correlating the directions of continuity in the microseismic data to the complex fracture network with the mathematical model to produce a microseismic-weighted (MSW) complex fracture network map.

  • Publication number: 20190235106
    Abstract: A multivariate analysis may be used to correlate seismic attributes for a subterranean formation with petrophysical properties of the subterranean formation and/or microseismic data associated with treating, creating, and/or extending a fracture network of the subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20180306939
    Abstract: Microseismic-event data can be corrected (e.g., to reduce or eliminate bias). For example, a first distribution of microseismic events that occurred in a first area of a subterranean formation can be determined. The first distribution can be used as a reference distribution. A second distribution of microseismic events that occurred in a second area of the subterranean formation can also be determined. The second area of the subterranean formation can be farther from an observation well than the first area. The second distribution can be corrected by including, in the second distribution, microseismic events that have characteristics tailored for reducing a difference between the second distribution and the first distribution.
