COLLEGE STATION, Texas, March 30 (TNSRes) -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
Both oil production and geothermal energy need fluids to move through fracture channels within subsurface rocks. Yet accurately mapping and measuring fractures created for fluid flow is challenging because what happens underground goes unseen. Seismic surveys, created when sound bounces against subsurface features, can produce reflective imaging, but these are no . . .
