Motivation
• Hydro-frac is important for oil recovery operations;
• Using time reversal mirror (TRM) method, only a local velocity model near the well needed;
• Potential for super-resolution and super-stacking properties from TRM.

MethodologySummary for the implementation:
Record VSP or SWD data as natural GF;
Extrapolate VSP or SWD data to obtain semi-natural GFs between surface and image points using the local velocity model near the well;
Cross-correlate these semi-natural GFs to the passive seismic data generated by hydro-fracs.

Conclusions
TRM is applied to locate hydro-fracs with VSP or SWD data, and provide accurate images when we use exact source excitation times.
TRM images show strong resilience to white noise.
TRM images are sensitive to source excitation times.
2-D median assumption.

Conclusions
• The summation imaging condition with trial time shifts can effectively image unknown seismic sources with necessary information.
• The super stacking property of this imaging scheme enables reliable source location in the presence of strong random noise.
![Page 54: Hydro-frac Source Estimation by Time Reversal Mirrors](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/568131f7550346895d9853e2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Scattered or reflected waves can provide higher resolution for imaging seismic sources than direct waves, especially when receiving aperture is limited.
• The contribution from scattered or reflected waves can be easily masked by the direct waves in the imaging process due to amplitude difference.
