An approach for predicting stress-induced anisotropy around a borehole
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
Formation elastic properties near a borehole may be altered from their original state due to the stress concentration around the borehole. This could result in a biased estimation of formation properties but could provide ...
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 ...
Effect of borehole stress concentration on compressional wave velocity measurements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
Formation elastic properties near a borehole may be altered from their original state due to the stress concentration around the borehole. This could lead to a biased estimation of formation elastic properties measured ...
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 ...
Scholte waves generated by seafloor topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
Seafloor topography can excite strong interface waves called Scholte waves that are often dispersive and characterized by slow propagation but large amplitude. This type of wave can be used to invert for near seafloor shear ...
Fluid Flow Property Estimation from Seismic Scattering Data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
We present a methodology for relating seismic scattering signals from fractures to the fluid permeability field of the fracture network. The workflow is used to interpret seismic scattering signals for the reservoir ...
