With the current industry trend toward instrumented oil fields and smart well completions, the permanent deployment of geophones or other acoustic sensors to complement standard engineering gauges is being promoted as a way to map reservoir dynamics. The biggest push is from the time-lapse seismic practitioners, although the deployment of permanent seismic instrumentation is also potentially an ideal route to monitor passive seismicity.
