“…The method has been applied in developing hot dry rock reservoirs (e.g., Pine and Batchelor, 1984;House, 1987;Jones et al, 1995;Tezuka and Niitsuma, 2000) and has been demonstrated in oil and gas fields as a technique for mapping and calibrating stimulations (e.g., Phillips et al, 1998;Warpinski et al, 1998), monitoring waste injection (Keck and Withers, 1994), and delineating reservoir structures affected by production (e.g., Rutledge et al, 1998). Applications are becoming more routine with the availability of retrievable borehole receiver arrays (e.g., Dyer et al, 1999;Maxwell et al, 2002;Griffin et al, 2003). Beyond mapping gross structure and fluid-flow paths, relative source location techniques can also be applied to reservoir microseismicity to resolve discrete fracture geometry and aid in solving source mechanisms (e.g., Phillips et al, 1997;Phillips, 2000;Fehler et al, 2001;Rowe et al, 2002;Moriya et al, 2003), thereby providing more detailed information on how the forced fluid flow affects a reservoir's natural fractures.…”

“…The aims, experimental design and results of the Valhall microseismic experiment are reported by Dyer et al (1999). Shear‐wave splitting analysis of the Valhall microseismic data is described in detail by Teanby et al (2004).…”

“…Over a period of 56 days microseismic events were continuously recorded yielding a data set of 572 events, 324 of which could be located reliably (Dyer et al 1999). The majority of the events were located, above the reservoir, in the siltstone caprock at about 2 km depth, 300–500 m from the receivers.…”
