This paper discussed the development direction of microseismic monitoring technology, pointed out that improve the quality of microseismic monitoring system, reduce the front end noise of the instrument, record more and smaller microseismic, tamp the theoretical foundation of microseismic monitoring, and increase the number of microseismic monitoring stations so as to obtain more information that can be compared are important directions for the development of microseismic technology. The introduction of conventional seismic exploration theory can also increase the level of microseismic monitoring, and form complete theory of microseismic. Above are important directions of microseismic monitoring technology development. With the development of technology, microseismic monitoring technology can also be used in seismic exploration and safety prediction of mine, reservoir besides oilfield fracturing and water monitoring.
