Abstract
C024 CHARACTERIZATION OF INDUCED SEISMICITY IN PETROLEUM RESERVOIR: A CASE STUDY Abstract 1 Fluid production and injection in hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs generally results in induced seismic activity. In this paper we study the microseismic activity in the Yibal Field in Oman. The microearthquake data we used are those collected by a five-station digital network in the Yibal Field between 29 October 1999 and 18 June 2001. We relocated 405 high-quality microseismic events using P and S travel-times picked from waveform data by the global grid-search location method. The results reveal a complex seismic zone with a NE-SW trend. All
