Abstract Summary
In this work, a 3D diffusion equation is considered to model induced seismicity due to fluid injections in a geological reservoir. A robust tracking control is then designed to force the seismicity rate to follow a desired reference, minimize induced seismicity and assure fluid circulation. The designed regulator ensures the control task despite system uncertainties and external perturbations. Simulations of the process are presented to show the reliability and performance of the control approach.
