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 …

Shear-wave splitting due to stress-aligned anisotropy is widely observed in the Earth's crust
and upper mantle. The anisotropy is the result of stress-aligned fluid-saturated grain …

Seismic measurements take many forms, and appear to have a universal role in the Earth
Sciences. They are the means for most easily and economically interpreting what lies …

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 …

As has been known for some time, velocities of elastic waves propagating in most
subsurface formations exhibit directional dependence, or seismic anisotropy. On their way to …

Seismic fluid identification works as an effective approach to characterize the fluid feature
and distribution of the reservoir underground with seismic data. Rock physics which builds …

Natural fractures in hydrocarbon reservoirs can cause significant seismic attenuation and
dispersion due to wave induced fluid flow between pores and fractures. We present two …

When a seismic wave travels through a fluid-saturated porous reservoir containing aligned
fractures, it induces oscillatory fluid flow between the fractures and the embedding …

Fractures in a porous rock can be modelled as very thin and highly porous layers in a
porous background. First, a dispersion equation for a P wave propagating in periodically …

Wave‐induced fluid flow (WIFF) between fractures and the embedding matrix as well as
within connected fractures tends to produce significant seismic attenuation and velocity …
