Evaluation of Fracture Systems and Stress Fields Within the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale and Characterization of Associated Water-Disposal Reservoirs: Appalachian Basin (08122-55)

University of Texas at Austin - Bureau of Economic Geology - Principal Investigator:  Bob A. Hardage

Objective:  The objective of the project is to use rock physics modeling in combination with new seismic data-acquisition technologies based on cableless boxes and accelerated-weight and vector-explosive sources to demonstrate how combinations of offset-dependent and azimuth-dependent P-wave and S-wave attributes can be used to optimize exploitation of fractured, shale-gas reservoirs. Period of Performance:  September 29, 2009 to September 29, 2012
