Abstract
To investigate normal ambient seismicity as well as potentially enhance seismic activity induced by brine production, a seismic monitoring program has been conducted in the vicinity of Chocolote Bayou geopressured test well (the Pleasant Bayou No. 2) since September 1978. The Pleasant Bayou No. 2 well has been completed and perforated at depths of 14,467-14,707 feet (4464.4-44.82.7 m). The brines produce from the Pleasant Bayou No. 2 are reinjected at a depth of 6226-6538 feet (1897.7-1992.8m) in the Pleasant Bayou No. 1 well. The seismic monitoring network and results from January through November 1981 are described.
