F-K Characteristics of the Seismic Response to a Set of Discrete Parallel Fractures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2006)
We model seismic wave propagation in a reservoir with discrete fracture zones using a finite difference scheme, which implements the Coates-Schoenberg formulation for fractured media. We study the variation of scattered ...
Orientation Estimation for Multiple Large Fractures by Scattering Energy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2006)
We have done the numerical modeling of seismic response to multiple sets of vertical large fractures by using finite-difference method (FD), which can easily handle media with monoclinic anisotropy. We consider three types ...
Comparison of Discrete Fracture and Effective Media Representation of Fractures on Azimuthal AVO
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2005)
In fractured reservoir development, azimuthal AVO (AVOaz) properties of reflected PP waves from reservoir tops are often used to infer fracture properties. The fracture parameter inversion is based on either an effective ...
Comparison Of Scattered Energy Using Point Scatterers Versus Full 3D Finite Difference Modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2004)
We present results of 3D numerical modeling using a series of simple point scatterers to create synthetic seismic shot records collected over regular, discrete, vertical fracture systems. The background medium is taken to ...
