PHASE Research Project
Physics and Application of Seismic Emission
What is PHASE about?
The goals of the PHASE project are to improve the understanding of the physics of fluid induced microseismicity, to establish physical fundamentals for microseismic monitoring and to further develop the seismicity based reservoir characterization approach.
