Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for performing a seismic survey and characterization of a subsurface formation. Seismic sources coupled to a wellbore of a well system may emit source seismic signals. Seismic sensors coupled to the wellbore may detect seismic signals associated with the plurality of source seismic signals. The detected seismic signals may be reflected seismic signals, refracted seismic signals, or both. A seismic characterization of the subsurface formation may be performed based on analysis of the detected seismic signals and the plurality of source seismic signals. A change in a fluid front of the subsurface formation may be detected based on the seismic characterization of the subsurface formation. Inflow control devices that control fluid flow in a plurality of zones of the wellbore may be controlled based on the seismic characterization and a detected change in the fluid front.
