Abstract
Systems and methods for determining the location of sensors embedded in material surrounding a well. In an example system, at least one seismic signal generator is configured to generate a seismic wave signal to communicate information that enables the determination of the sensor location to the sensor. A sensor location apparatus is provided and configured to lower the at least one seismic signal generator into the subsurface structure. A sensor location controller is provided in the sensor location apparatus and configured to actuate generation of the seismic wave signal as the at least one seismic signal generator is lowered into the well.
