=== Course Description ===
Stimulations of rocks by fluid injections belong to a standard reservoir-development
practice. Productions of shale oil, - shale gas, - heavy oil, - geothermal energy require
broad applications of this technology. The fact that fluid injection causes seismicity has
been well-established for several decades. Understanding and monitoring of fluid-induced
seismicity is necessary for hydraulic characterization of reservoirs, for assessments of
reservoir stimulations and for controlling the seismic risk. The course provides systematic
quantitative rock-physical and geomechanical fundamentals of these aspects. 

=== Course Objectives ===
1. To demonstrate the potential of microseismic monitoring for characterization of
hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs.
2. To provide a systematic introduction into quantitative interpretation of microseismic
monitoring and into assessment of the hazard of induced seismicity.

=== About the lecturer ===
Serge A. Shapiro is Professor of Geophysics at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, and
since 2004, Director of the PHASE (PHysics and Application of Seismic Emission)
university consortium project. From 2001 till 2008 he was one of Coordinator of the
German Continental Deep Drilling Program. His research interests include seismogenic
processes, wave phenomena, exploration seismology, and rock physics. He received the
SEG Virgil Kauffman Gold Medal in 2013 for his work on fluid-induced seismicity and
rock physics, and in 2004 was elected a Fellow of The Institute of Physics.
