Seismic characterization of reservoirs with variable fracture spacing by double focusing Gaussian beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
Fractured reservoirs account for a majority of the oil production worldwide and often have low recovery rate. Fracture characterization is important in building reservoir flow models for enhanced oil recovery. Information ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
