An inversion approach for subsurface injections

Build Status Binder Azure License SimPEG

Summary

This repository contains the notebooks used to generate the examples shown in Chapter 6 of the thesis "Electromagnetic methods for imaging subsurface injections" by Lindsey J. Heagy.

In this chapter, I discuss inversion strategies for imaging subsurface injections with hydraulic fracturing being the application of focus. I consider a DC resistivity experiment where the positive electrode is positioned within a steel-cased borehole and a return electrode is on the surface. I then consider several inversion approaches including a Tikhonov-style inversion and a parametric inversion. I then suggest an approach using effective medium theory to include a-priori information about the injected volume of proppant and fluid.

Usage

Online

The notebooks can be run online through mybinder or azure notebooks.

Locally

To run them locally, you will need to have python installed, preferably through anaconda.

You can then clone this reposiroty. From a command line, run

git clone https://github.com/simpeg-research/heagy-2018-injection-inversions.git

Then cd into the heagy-2018-injection-inversions

cd heagy-2018-em-casing

To setup your software environment, we recommend you use the provided conda environment

conda env create -f environment.yml
source activate injection-inversions-environment

alternatively, you can install dependencies through pypi

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can then launch Jupyter

jupyter notebook

Jupyter will then launch in your web-browser.

Running the notebooks

Each cell of code can be run with shift + enter or you can run the entire notebook by selecting cell, Run All in the toolbar.

For more information on running Jupyter notebooks, see the Jupyter Documentation
