Reviewer 2 Report

The work is devoted to the study of fault localization for the purpose of seismic monitoring. The paper discusses the use of acoustic full-wave inversion for such purposes. A study based on real seismic data is presented. The work is undoubtedly relevant and interesting. There are a number of small remarks.

Point 1. Based on the text of the work, an acoustic inversion of the data was carried out. Why was acoustic inversion chosen? Perhaps elastic inversion would be better suited to identify fluid-saturated inclusions?

Point 2. Line 186. What determines the choice of the order of modeling accuracy? What method was used? Classic type FDTD or different?

Point 3. Formula 3 and beyond. Statements from inversion in the frequency domain are given. Why did you change to bold in the field designation? What is the complex conjugation for if the data is in the real area?

Point 4. Formula 1. What do s and g index mean?

Point 5. Formula 4. What does mean \nu?

Point 6. Lines 205-207. What does it apply to? What is a "wavefield residual error"?

Point 7. The general description of the full-wave inversion looks like it was collected from various sources according to fragmentary formulas. There is a general structure, but a holistic reading is difficult. In formula 6, what is h ? Does it match with g?

Point 8. Section 3.2. A description of a synthetic example for the validation of full wave inversion is given. What calculation parameters were used? Time steps, discretization steps? What is the source frequency based on? Line 248 is about frequencies. Was the inversion in the frequency or time domain? How was frequency limiting done in the time domain?
