Abstract: At present the microseismic technique is the only available method Cor evaluating the mechanical stability of a large geologic structure such as an underground gas storage reservoir. In this technique the low-level seismic signals associated with the development of underground stress concentrations, and with such structural activity as fracture initiation and propagation, bed separation, and relative motion of structural elements are detected using a series of surface and/or downhole transducers. By recording the signals from a set of such transducers over a period of time, and under a variety of conditions (e.g., storage pressure, stored gas volume, etc.), it is possible to gain information in regard to the general stability of the overall structure, and if any prominent defects are present to determine their approximate location.
