Fluid substitution in heavy oil rocks

Heavy oils are defined as having high densities and extremely high viscosities. Due to their viscoelastic behavior the traditional rock physics based on Gassmann theory becomes inapplicable. In this paper, we use effective-medium approach known as coherent potential approximation or CPA as an altern...
