Popis: An overview of methods for mapping disturbances in a rock mass is given on the example of determining hydraulic fracture systems in an oil-filled formation. Methods of passive and active microseismic monitoring, as well as electromagnetic examining of rock masses for the presence of inhomogeneities in it are considered. A promising option for the development of hydraulic fracture mapping systems is proposed - creation of downhole logging probes representing ground penetrating radars that implement the mode of electrical scanning of the rock mass under study. The calculation of downhole antenna array based on the Butler matrix is performed. The calculated parameters of a phased antenna array with a Butler matrix can be used to design a downhole logging probe for mapping hydraulic fractures, as well as for surveying engineering structures, for example, foundations of buildings.
