Double-beam stacking to infer seismic properties of fractured reservoirs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
We develop a theory for using 3D beam interference to infer scattering properties of a fractured reservoir using reflected seismic P data. For the sake of simplicity, we use Gaussian beams. The scattering properties are ...
Seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs using 3D double beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
We propose an efficient target-oriented method to characterize seismic properties of fractured reservoirs: the spacing between fractures and the fracture orientation. We use both singly scattered and multiply scattered ...
A robust method for fracture orientation and density detection from seismic scattered energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
The measurements of fracture parameters, such as fracture orientation, fracture density and fracture compliance, in a reservoir is very important for field development and exploration. Traditional seismic methods for ...
Modeling of acoustic wave scattering from a two-dimensional fracture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
In this paper, we model the acoustic scattering from a two dimensional fracture that is simulated by two different physical models. We calculate the scattering from the fractures with different properties based on these ...
SH Wave Scattering from Fractures using Boundary Element Method with Linear Slip Boundary Condition
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2011)
A boundary element method (BEM) combined with a linear slip boundary condition is proposed to calculate SH wave scattering from fractures. The linear slip boundary condition was proposed by Schoenberg (1980) to model elastic ...
Reservoir fracture characterizations from seismic scattered waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
The measurements of fracture parameters, such as fracture orientation, fracture density and fracture compliance, in a reservoir is very important for field development and exploration. Traditional seismic methods for ...
Sensitivity analysis of fracture scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2010)
The understanding of seismic scattering of a finite fracture
is very important in reservoir fracture characterizations, but
the analytical solution of this problem is not available. Thus,
in this paper, we present an ...
Joint flow-seismic inversion for characterizing fractured reservoirs: theoretical approach and numerical modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
Traditionally, seismic interpretation is performed without any account of the flow behavior. Here, we present a methodology to characterize fractured geologic media by integrating flow and seismic data. The key element of ...
Efficient Double-Beam Characterization for Fractured Reservoir
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012-06)
We proposed an efficient target-oriented method to characterize seismic properties of fractured reservoirs: the spacing between fractures and the fracture orientation. Based on the diffraction theory, the scattered wave ...
