Locating microseismic sources is critical to monitor the hydraulic fractures that occur during fluid extraction/injection in unconventional oil or gas exploration. Waveform-based seismic location methods can reliably and automatically image weak microseismic source locations without phase picking. Among them, the cross-correlation migration (CCM) method can avoid excitation time scanning by generating virtual gathers. We propose a CCM location method based on the hybrid imaging condition (HIC). There are four main steps in the implementation of this method: 1) selection of receivers with good azimuthal coverage; 2) generation of virtual gathers by correlating the reference receiver with the rest of the receivers; 3) summation of back-projections in the virtual gathers; and 4) multiplication of all summations. The CCM-HIC method was tested on synthetic and field datasets, and the results were compared with those obtained by conventional summation imaging condition (SIC) and multiplication imaging condition (MIC). The comparison results demonstrate that the CCM-HIC is sufficiently robust to obtain better stability and higher spatial resolution image of source location, despite the presence of strong noise.
