Characterization of Scattered Waves from Fractures by Estimating the Transfer Function Between Reflected Events Above and Below Each Interval

Willis, Mark E.; Burns, Daniel R.; Rao, Rama V. N.; Minsley, Burke J. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2003)

It is important to be able to detect and characterize naturally occurring fractures in reservoirs using surface seismic reflection data. 3D finite difference elastic modeling is used to create simulated surface seismic ...

Spatial Orientation and Distribution of Reservoir Fractures from Scattered Seismic Energy

Willis, Mark E.; Burns, Daniel R.; Rao, Rama V. N.; Minsley, Burke J.; Toksoz, M. Nafi; e.a. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2006)

We present the details of a new method for determining the reflection and scattering characteristics of seismic energy from subsurface fractured formations. The method is based upon observations we have made from 3D ...
