Thesis
Fracture detection with azimuthal seismic data, rock physics, and geomechanics
- Abstract:
-
Significant progress has been made for fracture detection in unconventional plays using advanced geophysical techniques such as the use of P-wave AVO algorithms in multi-azimuth data. In the past decade, it has been recognised that major amplitude distortions in anisotropic media occur, for wide-azimuth data, and that these might potentially be related to fracture distribution in the layered media. However, inversion of the azimuthally varying P-wave AVO gradient for the crack density is n...
