Abstract
A method for automatic classification, according to various selection criteria, of seismic or microseismic events picked up by seismic receivers coupled with an underground formation under development, according to whether the events are purely of microseismic nature or depend, on any account, on artifacts related to the outer environment or to formation development or monitoring activities, and for selection of the significant parts of traces for the purpose of analysis. The method has an application for monitoring of production or storage reservoirs under development.
