Fluid substitution in rocks saturated with viscoelastic fluids
Heavy oils have high densities and extremely high viscosities, and they exhibit viscoelastic behavior. Traditional rock physics based on Gassmann theory does not apply to materials saturated with viscoelastic fluids. We use an effective-medium approach known as coherent potential approximation (CPA)...
