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 ...
Numerical modeling of elastic wave scattering by near-surface heterogeneities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2013)
A perturbation method for elastic waves and numerical forward modeling are used to calculate the effects of seismic wave scattering from arbitrary shape shallow subsurface heterogeneities. Wave propagation is simulated ...
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 ...
