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 ...
Sensitivity of time lapse seismic data to the compliance of hydraulic fractures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
We study the sensitivity of seismic waves to changes in the fracture normal and tangential compliances by analyzing the fracture sensitivity wave equation, which is derived by differentiating the elastic wave equation with ...
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 ...
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 ...
