ABSTRACT

Uncertainty in a migration based approach to surface microseismic monitoring occurs in two ways: uncertainty in the validity in detected event and uncertainty in the estimated position of the event. Synthetic modeling and comparison to case studies show that sign-to-noise-ratio is a key indicator of both types of the uncertainties.
