    • Applying Compactness Constraints to Differential Traveltime Tomography 

      Ajo-Franklin, Jonathan B.; Minsley, Burke J.; Daley, Thomas M. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      Tomographic imaging problems are typically ill-posed and often require the use of regularization techniques to guarantee a stable solution. Minimization of a weighted norm of model length is one commonly used secondary ...

    • Fracture Quality From Integrating Time-Lapse VSP and Microseismic Data 

      Willis, Mark E.; Burns, Daniel R.; Lu, Rongrong; Toksoz, M. Nafi; House, Nancy J. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007)
      Tight gas reservoirs are problematic to produce, often requiring multiple stages of hydraulic fracturing in order to create connected pathways through which hydrocarbons may flow. In this paper, we propose a new methodology ...

    • Analysis of Scattered Signal to Estimate Reservoir Fracture Parameters 

      Grandi, Samantha K.; Willis, Mark E.; Burns, Daniel R.; oksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2007-05)
      We detect fracture corridors and determine their orientation and average spacing based on an analysis of seismic coda in the frequency-wave number (f-k ) domain. Fracture corridors have dimensions similar to seismic ...
