Microseismic catalogue of the surface and the downhole network with moment magnitude by N. Cuenot - Soultz-sous-Forêts 2000 Stimulation

Description

First catalogue calculated by N. Cuenot as part of his Ph. D. The downhole network and the surface network were both used to locate events of the 2000 episode at Soultz-sous-Forêts. Number of events: 7215.
The catalogue contains the preliminary locations of events performed by N. Cuenot with a modified version of the HYPOINVERSE program (Klein, 1978). N. Cuenot calculated a second catalogue with more precise locations using tomographic inversion. The catalogue covers only the stimulation test and not the post-injection test of the 2000 episode. Only the events recorded by at least 8 stations (5 from the surface network and the 3 downhole accelerometers) and with an RMS ≤ 0.02 s were kept in the catalogue.
The final mean mathematical location error is about 80 m horizontally and 100 m vertically.
Time period: 30/06/2000 19:15:18 - 11/07/2000 05:58:03 (UTC).

The data parameters are the following:
Column 1: Event number
Column 2: Date (UTC)
Column 3: Time (UTC)
Column 4: Latitude WGS84
Column 5: Longitude WGS84
Column 6: Elevation (m)
Column 7: Magnitude determined from the seismic signal duration
Column 8: RMS

Remark: the signals from the RéNaSS stations and the Güralp sensor of the surface network, and from the two hydrophones of the downhole network were not used to locate the events of the catalogue.

The description of the surface network is available here.
The description of the downhole network is available here.
