One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

A major cause of seismic attenuation in fluid-saturated rocks is the flow of the pore fluid
induced by the passing wave. At sonic and ultrasonic frequencies, attenuation appears to be …

Analysis of seismic data suggests that hydrocarbon deposits are often associated with
higher than usual values of attenuation, but this is generally ignored during amplitude …

The standard description of wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media is given by
the Biot–Gassmann theory of poroelasticity. The theory enjoys strong experimental support …

Measurements of seismic anisotropy in fractured rock are used at present to deduce
information about the fracture orientation and the spatial distribution of fracture intensity …

In order to investigate the effects of fluid and frequency on the elastic properties, we
performed hydrostatic experiments on an Icelandic basalt specimen under both dry and …

Detection of intersecting open fractures is an important task in many earth science domains.
To quantify the seismic responses in the fluid-saturated porous rock with intersecting open …

We begin this book with a brief discussion on the basics of seismic-wave propagation as it
relates to AVO, and we follow that with the rock-physics foundation for AVO analysis …

Geophysical methods can be used to obtain an image of the near surface of the earth. This
image will display the spatial variation in the geophysical properties of the subsurface. In …

The detection and characterisation of domains of intersecting fractures are important goals
in several disciplines of current interest, including exploration and production of …
