Abstract

The in-seam technique is capable of detecting a 1m fault in a 3m seam at a range of 280m. Studies of the seismic properties of gas saturated reservoir rocks confirm that stress increases give rise to increases in seismic wave velocity and decreases in wave attenuation, markedly at low stresses but less so as stress increases.
