Seismic-wave attenuation is an important component of describing wave propagation.
Certain regions, such as gas clouds inside the earth, exert highly localized attenuation. In …

Time reversal is a key component in reverse-time migration (RTM) and source localization
using wavefield extrapolation. The successful implementation of time reversal depends on …

Attenuating orthorhombic models are often used to describe the azimuthal variation of the
seismic wave velocity and attenuation in finely layered hydrocarbon reservoirs with vertical …

In this paper, we implement three scales of fracture integrated prediction study by classifying
it to macro-(> 1/4 λ), meso-(> 1/100 λ and< 1/4 λ) and micro-(< 1/100 λ) scales. Based on the …

The real ray-tracing approach leads to an effective solution in the real space domain using a
homogeneous ray velocity vector. However, it fails to yield solutions for quasi-S-waves …

Common prestack fracture prediction methods cannot clearly distinguish multiplescale
fractures. In this study, we propose a prediction method for macro-and mesoscale fractures …

An important cause of seismic anisotropic attenuation is the interbedding of thin viscoelastic
layers. However, much less attention has been devoted to layer‐induced anisotropic …

Separating wave modes on seismic records is an essential step in imaging of
multicomponent seismic data. Viscoelastic anisotropic models provide a realistic description …

Mesoscale fractures of length on the order of centimeters to meters play a crucial role in fluid
flow and hydrocarbon production in fractured reservoirs, and are of great interest to reservoir …

Transversely isotropic (TI) media with the frequency-independent quality-factor elements
(also called “constant-Q” transverse isotropy) are often used to describe attenuation …
