Abstract
Microseismic event mapping provides valuable information about stimulation of unconventional reservoirs. More advanced information can be extracted using an integrated approach where the microseismic data are correlated with surface seismic attributes. These attributes have long been used for the interpretation of data from unconventional plays such as tight gas and shale. Integrated studies using advance techniques help unveil the potential of unconventional resources and aid in further development. This article describes a methodology for integrated interpretation of microseismicity recorded during simulation of two horizontal wells and 3D surface seismic attributes, from a case study in central Alberta. Curvature and coherence are two attributes that show promising correlation with microseismicity.
