Detection of Subsurface Flow Pathway Structure from Induced Micro-Seismicity

If we have a technique to detect fluid flow through subsurface fr actures at few km depth, it will improve drastically the procedure to design and control the Enhanced Geothermal System. We develop a new technique to realize that idea with the aid of microseismic events observed during hydraulic stimulation which is carried out to maintain and create the flow pathways.
