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 …

Heterogeneity of rock's fabric can induce heterogeneous distribution of immiscible fluids in
natural reservoirs, since the lithological variations (mainly permeability) may affect fluid …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A detailed analysis of the relationship between elastic waves in inhomogeneous, porous
media and the effect of wave-induced fluid flow is presented. Based on the results of the …

Using a numerical approach, we explore wave-induced fluid flow effects in partially
saturated porous rocks in which the gas-water saturation patterns are governed by …

Understanding the mechanisms of wave-induced fluid flow in the pore space combined with
attenuation and dispersion measurements may be used to estimate rock hydraulic …

Conventional seismic analysis in partially saturated rocks normally lays emphasis on
estimating pore fluid content and saturation, typically ignoring the effect of mobility, which …

Waves in patchy-saturated rocks are attenuated through the mechanism of wave-induced
pressure diffusion. Previous studies reveal that attenuation and phase-velocity dispersion …
