This website provides information on Microseismic Surveys:

http://www.microseismic.com/technology.html

Microseismic Surveys are "passive" in so much as they passively "listen" during a frac, to monitor and judge such things as the effectiveness of the frac.

It has nothing to do with subsurface problems.

It is touted to be of value as a real-time means of evaluating a frac job.

It should not be confused with seismic surveying (2D or 3D).

It should not be confused with earthquake seismic monitoring.

It should not be confused with microseisms.
