Modeling elastic wave velocities and attenuation in rocks saturated with heavy oil

Although properties of bulk heavy oil can be approximated by an appropriate viscoelastic model, only a few attempts to model properties of rocks saturated with heavy oil have been reported. Rock-physics models used for rocks saturated with conventional fluids are inapplicable to those saturated with...
