Abstract
Method for imaging of a hydraulic fracture generated by fluid injection. Microseismic data of the hydraulic fracture treatment is collected and analyzed for the location and magnitude of microseismic events. The seismic energy or moment of the micro seismic events is calculated () and plotted with the size of events scaled by their energy or moment (). The cumulative seismic energy or moment is calculated as a function of distance from the perforation point (). The fracture dimensions are determined by applying cut-offs, based on selected criteria, to the cumulative energy or moment estimates ().
