Continuous monitoring system for safe managements of CO2 storage and geothermal reservoirs

Abstract We have developed a new continuous monitoring system based on small seismic sources and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). The source system generates continuous waveforms with a wide frequency range. Because the signal timing is accurately controlled, stacking the continuous waveforms enh...
