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 …

Saturation of porous rocks with a mixture of two fluids (known as partial saturation) has a
substantial effect on the seismic waves propagating through these rocks. In particular, partial …

Recent research has established that the dominant P-wave attenuation mechanism in
reservoir rocks at seismic frequencies is because of wave-induced fluid flow (mesoscopic …

We derive the equations of motion of a double‐porosity medium based on Biot's theory of
poroelasticity and on a generalization of Rayleigh's theory of fluid collapse to the porous …

Laboratory experiments on partially saturated rocks show that seismic attenuation can be
significant. The main mechanism, wave‐induced local fluid flow (WILFF), is affected by the …

Sedimentary rocks are often heterogeneous porous media inherently containing complex
distributions of heterogeneities (eg, fluid patches and cracks). Understanding and modeling …

Although significant advancement has occurred in the interpretation of seismic amplitude-
variation-with-offset (AVO) anomalies, a theory is lacking to guide the interpretation of …

Saturation of porous rocks with a mixture of two fluids has a substantial effect on seismic‐
wave propagation. In particular, partial saturation causes significant attenuation and …

We have investigated the impact of wave-induced fluid flow, including Biot flow and
mesoscopic flow, on the signatures of seismic reflectivity in heterogeneous reservoir rocks …

Abstract Knowledge about the seismic elastic modulus dispersion, and associated
attenuation, in fluid-saturated rocks is essential for better interpretation of seismic …
