Preliminary scope of work

The aim of this monitoring feasibility study is to estimate and investigate seismic responses obtained using sensors along horizontal production screeners and with approximately arbitrary source locations and characteristics. The elastic parameters must vary around and especially above the screen to represent a situation of fluid contacts approaching the production screen.
