FIELD: geophysics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to geophysics and can be used for monitoring cracks in process of hydraulic fracturing. Proposed system, method and software can be used for analysis of microseismic data caused by hydraulic fracturing. In some aspects stored data associate fracture plane with a first plurality of microseismic events occurring as a result of hydraulic fracturing in underground area. Additional stored data indicate order of second, different from first plurality of microseismic events occurring as a result of hydraulic fracturing. One event of second plurality of microseismic events is selected based on order, wherein plane of crack is updated based on selected microseismic event.
EFFECT: technical result is improved accuracy and reliability of information relating to spatially geometric characteristics of cracks of hydraulic fracturing.
