Abstract:

In recent decades, microseismic monitoring technology in oil and gas operation has got rapid and comprehensive developments. These progresses are mainly manifested as the further affirmation and high appraisal of the microseismic hydraulic fracture monitoring, gradual commercialization of the microseismic monitoring software and hardware, the thorough and specialized researches about the methods of data acquisition, data processing and interpretation in microseismic monitoring. The work of microseismic monitoring technology and services increase rapidly. Only in the basins in North America, hydraulic fracturing microseismic imaging is conducted in thousands of wells every year. With the rise of shale gas exploration and development in China, fast promotion appears in microseismic monitoring technology as well.

Key words: low permeability, water drive gas reservoir, water invasion, horizontal well, production
