(author)As part of a seismic monitoring project in a geothermal field, where the feasibility of re-injection and storage of produced CO<sub>2</sub> is being investigated, a P- and S-wave seismic velocity characterisation study was carried out. The effect of axial and radial (up to 42 MPa) stress, pore pressure (up to 17 MPa), pore fluid (100% brine...journal article 2023

Chamarczuk, Michał (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Quiros, Diego (author), Malinowski, Michał (author)Most of the ambient-noise studies are performed with sensor arrays located at the surface. Passive recordings containing seismic arrivals from subsurface sources could be seen as having a geometry resembling reverse vertical seismic profiling (RVSP). In such scenarios, the intersource seismic-interferometry technique can be used to redatum...journal article 2022

Ma, X. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Heller, H.K.J. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)Fluid mud plays an important role in navigability in ports and waterways. Characterizing and monitoring the seismic properties of the fluid mud can help understand its geotechnical behavior. Estimation of the wave velocities in fluid mud with high accuracy and repeatability enables investigating the behavior of parameters like the yield stress...journal article 2022

Liu, J. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)Traditional least-squares full-waveform inversion (FWI) suffers from severe local minima problems in case of the presence of strongly dispersive surface waves. Additionally, recorded wavefields are often characterized by amplitude errors due to varying source coupling and incorrect 3D-to-2D geometrical-spreading correction. Thus, least...journal article 2022

Liu, J. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Seismic incoherent noise and waves scattered from objects in the crossline directions can cause 2D elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI) to produce artifacts in the resulting 2D models. We develop a complete workflow that can determine subsurface S-wave velocity (VS) models inverted from 2D near-surface seismic data more stably. We make use...journal article 2022

(author), Roest, J.C. (author)We present an overview of induced seismicity due to subsurface engineering in the Netherlands. Our overview includes events induced by gas extraction, underground gas storage, geothermal heat extraction, salt solution mining and post-mining water ingress.

Hassing, S.H.W. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Barnhoorn, A. (author), Janssen, M. (author)In July 2021, passive seismic data has been recorded on a network of geophones at the CarbFix2 injection site at Hellisheiði, Iceland. This data is processed using seismic interferometry to get an image of the injection reservoir. The data is split up into noise panels. Panels dominated by body-wave energy are selected using an illumination...conference paper 2022

Buisman, M. (author), Martuganova, E.M. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)This work shows the potential of using DAS for continuous water-depth monitoring by using the difference in acoustic energy in water and mud. The advantage over conventional methods is that our method can be used continuously and remotely, given that there is traffic nearby. Due to the low cost of fibres and the far-reaching dynamic range of...conference paper 2022

(author), Kirichek, Alex (author)Purpose<br/><br/>Current surveying techniques used by port authorities to estimate the nautical depth are limited in depth resolution and temporal resolution. Because of this, certain heavily occupied quay walls cannot be optimised in terms of utilisation.

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Balestrini, F.I. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) is a method that retrieves new seismic traces from the cross-correlation of existing traces, where one of the receivers acts as a virtual seismic source whose response is retrieved at other receivers. When using sources only at the surface, and the so-called one-sided illumination of the receivers occurs, we will...conference paper 2022
