P-wave dispersion and attenuation in fractured and porous reservoirs - poroelasticity approach

Natural fractures in hydrocarbon reservoirs can cause significant seismic attenuation and dispersion due to wave induced fluid flow between pores and fractures. We present two theoretical models explicitly based on the solution of Biot’s equations of poroelasticity. The first model considers fractur...
