Ambient seismic noise monitoring and imaging at the Theistareykir geothermal field (Iceland)

In autumn 2017 a network of 14 broadband seismic stations was deployed at the Theistareykir high temperature geothermal field (NE Iceland). This experiment was conducted as part of the current efforts to characterize the field's main structures, and possible short and long term stress variations due to the ongoing fluid injection and...

Structural delineation at the Los Humeros geothermal field, Mexico, by P-wave reflection retrieval from noise

3D-S wave velocity model of the Los Humeros geothermal field, Mexico, by ambient-noise tomography

Ambient noise seismic reflection interferometry at the Los Humeros geothermal field, Mexico

Integration of results from active seismic, passive seismic and well data reduces the uncertainties of several subsurface parameters that are of interest for cost-effective geothermal production operations in Los Humeros. In this study, we present results from the application of ambient noise seismic interferometry (ANSI) to retrieve zero-offset...

Short- and Long-Term Variations in the Reykjanes Geothermal Reservoir From Seismic Noise Interferometry

The Reykjanes Geothermal System (RGS) is a high-temperature geothermal system located on the Reykjanes peninsula, a transtensional plate-boundary zone located on the southwestern tip of Iceland. The area is characterized by high seismicity, recent volcanism, and high-temperature geothermal fields. We use seismic noise records from April 2014...

Time-lapse seismic imaging of the Reykjanes geothermal reservoir

We report on the results obtained from a dense seismic deployment over a geothermal reservoir. The reservoir has been producing continuously for almost a decade and is located on the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula, SW Iceland. The seismic stations on top of the reservoir have continuously recorded the ambient seismic wavefield between April 2014...

Time-lapse seismic imaging of the Reykjanes geothermal reservoir

We report on the results obtained from a dense seismic deployment over a geothermal reservoir located on the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula, SW Iceland. The available seismic stations have continuously recorded the ambient-seismic wave field between April 2014 and August 2015. Using seismic interferometry (SI), seismic responses were generated...
