Abstract
A method for improved data-driven estimation of a stimulated reservoir volume may generate an optimized surface that encloses a set of data points including microseismic event data corresponding to a treatment of a subterranean formation. A Delaunay triangulation may be performed on the set of data points to generate a set of polytopes. A Voronoi polygon may be generated about each data point and used to obtain a local density measure that is locally and adaptively determined for each data point. Based on the local density measure, polytopes in the set of polytopes may be discriminated for inclusion in the optimized surface.
