Abstract
A method of monitoring a fluid front movement is provided. The method includes: determining at least two techniques for monitoring the fluid front movement; determining a configuration of monitoring sensors, corresponding to the at least two monitoring techniques, from a joint sensitivity study of the at least two techniques; acquiring data with the monitoring sensors; and monitoring the fluid front by joint inverting the data.
