Application of time reversal simulation in a homogenized velocity model: case of Groningen gas field
Résumé
It is essential to locate and characterize the earthquakes because it helps us to understand the origin of the seismicity and the risks for the population. To do so, we use the time reversal method to locate the source. This method is based on the backpropagation of the recorded signals from at a set of receivers. When the receivers are placed on a closed surface (time reversal mirror), the generated wavefield focuses at the source location creating a focal spot.
