Multiple U.S. national laboratories, universities and industrial collaborators are conducting collaborative research under the EGS Collab project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, to understand the fracture creation and imaging during fracturing in enhanced geothermal systems. Microearthquake hypocenter locations and focal mechanisms are used to monitor hydraulic fracturing growth and characterization at the EGS Collab experimental site at the Sanford Underground Research Facility using seismic receivers in multiple monitoring wells. We develop a methodology for optimal design a 3D borehole seismic array for cost-effective seismic monitoring in anisotropic media using not only the relationship between receiver distributions and standard deviation errors of microearthquake hypocenter locations, but also that between receiver distributions and focal mechanism inversion errors. Our results indicate that microearthquake hypocenter locations and focal mechanisms can be reasonably well reconstructed for the EGS Collab Experiment I using six monitoring wells, including four fracture-parallel monitoring wells and two orthogonal wells. Eight seismic receivers evenly distributed in four parallel monitoring wells or twelve receivers in all six monitoring wells are required for hypocenter location, and twelve receivers evenly distributed in six wells or sixteen receivers in four wells are needed for focal-mechanism inversion.
