    • Effects Of Fractured Reservoir Elastic Properties On Azimuthal Avo 

      Shen, Feng; Zhu, Xiang; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1997)
      Aligned vertical fractures introduce velocity anisotropy which is directly related to parameters, such as fracture density, fracture shape and fracture contents. Effective medium models allow us to study qP- and qS-wave ...
    • P and SV waves 3-D Numerical Modeling of AVOA from Heterogeneous Fractured Reservoirs 

      Zhu, Xiang; Shen, Feng; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1997)
      We study the effects of fracture-induced anisotropy and lateral fracture density heterogeneity on the reflected P and SV wave amplitude variation with offset and azimuth (AVOA), using 3-D finite-difference simulations. The ...
    • Ultrasonic And Numerical Modeling Of Reflections From Simulated Fractured Reservoirs 

      Theophanis, Stephen; Zhu, Xiang (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 1997)
      Vve examine seismic waves scattered from anisotropic heterogeneity with laboratory data and numerical modeling in order to develop modeling techniques for the characterization of fracture properties in tight gas sands ...
