Abstract

Summary

The monitoring of microseismicity has already proven to be a very important tool to assess the quality of a geothermal or hydorcarbon reservoir or to estimate the risk of larger, to be felt, earthquakes in the vicinity of geothermal wells or in natural tectonic settings. We will show in this paper, how the use of waveform similarity, i.e. the cross-correlation functions, in a cloud of microearthquakes can improve the precision of the earthquake location procedure as well as helps to characterize physical changes in the reservoir or in the geologic formation. While most of the applied techniques are rather established, the combination and interpretation of the results are still an open field of new research topics.
