In the hydraulic stimulation, a number of micro-seismic events are commonly observed. It is believed that injected fluid flows through subsurface pre-existing fractures, and the fluid flow raises pore-pressure in those fractures, and finally the raised pore-pressure triggers micro-seismic events. In the previous work of Osada et al. (2005), we have considered carefully such a scenario and come up with a method to estimate pore-pressure distribution in a rock formation by analyzing the observed data of micro-seismic events. On the other hand, pore pressure distribution along flow-pathways should change according to the location of flow-pathways and the distribution of hydraulic conductivity along them. Therefore, it could be possible to estimate flow-pathway structure as it gives a good explanation of the pore pressure distribution. Based on this idea, in the present work we propose a new method to estimate the flow-pathway structure. We assume an appropriate model of flow-pathway structure and optimize it as the pore pressure distribution estimated numerically by the model agrees well with the pore pressure distribution estimated from micro-seismic events by the method proposed in the previous work. Then we accept the most optimized model as the answer to represent the actual flow-pathway structure.We demonstrated how we can optimize the model of flow-pathway structure according to synthetic pore pressure distributions in 1D and 2D cases. Finally we applied this method to Soultz field in France and estimated the subsurface flow-pathway structure. The results were in good agreement with the flow logs carried out in the injection well.
