Fracture imaging

The workshop combines an overview of the physics behind fracture initiation and propagation in brittle materials, with practical examples of the use of microseismic and acoustic monitoring for the imaging of the fracture process. The examples include laboratory rock deformation tests, hydraulic reservoir stimulation in the field and fracturing associated to caving in mining. Passive and active methods will be examined, with examples at reservoir and laboratory test scales. The workshop will cover the following points:

• Principles of fracture initiation and propagation
• Fractures and seismicity
• Passive imaging of fractures
• Monitoring fracture interaction and coalescence
• Seismic source parameters
• Source mechanism: fault plane solution and moment tensor
• Active surveys: deformation and fracturing imaging

Participants will be provided with tutorials covering the topics presented in the workshop and a 1-week licence of our seismic processing software to practice and navigate through the examples of monitoring of fracturing processes at field and laboratory scales.

Aim of the workshop: To sustain the contribution of the mineral industry to the world’s economy, mining activities should take place beyond a 2,000 m depth. Violent and uncontrolled failure of rocks in deep mines is a severe threat to this goal. This workshop aims to present recent research in the area of deep mining and to facilitate discussions to exchange knowledge from research to practice. It will discuss Rock behavior and its failure in deep underground openings.
