    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interferometric seismic imaging and creation of a high-resolution three-dimensional seismic volume in proximity to a wellbore are described. In contrast to current methods that deliver positions of microseismic events using a small fraction of the microseismic wavefield, the present invention provides for the analysis of a full microseismic wavefield. In a preferred embodiment, the method includes creating a planar image slice and/or corridor between the location of one or more microseismic events and one or several sensor arrays to produce a multitude of azimuthally orientated planar image slices and/or corridors. The method further includes adding the planar image slice and/or corridor contributions to create a single three-dimensional volume for analysis and rendering.
