TL;DR: A review of the current status of research concerning induced seismicity monitoring for shale hydraulic fracturing can be found in this article, where the authors identify challenges and prospects associated with multi-disciplines for future research and applications.

TL;DR: Though the workflow is developed for microseismic location, it can also be adapted for other seismic inversion problems (e.g., source mechanism inversion) and ensure the algorithmic robustness and efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multifractal method is used to analyze the acoustic emission (AE) signals and characterize fracture initiation and propagation in the Niutitang Formation under a uniaxial loading condition.

TL;DR: The role of microseismic analysis in natural gas reservoir characterization with field examples associated with shale hydraulic fracturing and coal-bed methane production has been discussed in this article, where the authors summarized the principles and technical workflow of micro seismic monitoring.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relation between an earthquake sequence and hydraulic fracturing stimulation at two shale gas well pads with the results of focal mechanism determination and stress inversion and calculated the focal mechanisms of observed earthquakes using a full-waveform matching method.
