Estimating permeability from field measurements of seismic attenuation in fractured chalk
- Abstract:
-
Broadband (100-4000 Hz) cross-hole seismic data have been acquired at a borehole test site where extensive hydrological investigations have previously been performed, including in situ estimates of permeability. The rock type is homogeneous chalk and fractures and bedding planes have been identified from well logs. High values of seismic attenuation, Q = 22 ≤ 27 ≤ 33, were observed over a 10 m depth interval where fracture permeability values of 20-50 darcy had been recorded. An atte...
