Speaker: Dr. Mark Mack, Consultant
Co-Authors: Scott Taylor and Anton Reshetnikov
The authors present comparative results of several well observed microseismic surveys in the Delaware Basin whose objective was to determine the effectiveness of
1. Parent and offset child well spacing modifications,
2. Higher density sand schedules and cluster efficiency, and
3. Variable fluid system injection schedules.
The authors show how post processing techniques like moment tensor inversion and microseismic reflection imaging can add additional value to microseismic surveys and benefit practical engineering decisions.
