New Research--studying the role of structural connectivity and completion types on Hydraulic Fracturing Induced Sesimicity

The BC OGRIS has provided a grant to WSP Canada to study the role of structural connectivity and completion types on hydraulic fracturing induced seismicity.

The research aims to expand our understanding of the structural characterization of the Montney reservoir structures and their distribution through enhancing the modeling approach that can build conditioned simulations of subsurface structures. The project will also investigate if the completion style (open hole, cased hole) makes any material impact upon the induced seismicity and whether any of the availability stimulation properties might result in less seismicity.
