Abstract
E038 More Powerful Fracture Detection: Integrating P-wave Converted-wave FMI and Everything Abstract 1 Knowledge of the orientation and distribution of fractures can be critical to exploration success; the advantage of seismically driven fractured reservoir characterization is accurate estimation of the fracture distribution between wells. The key to using seismic to characterize fracturing is to measure and understand anisotropy. Measuring and understanding this anisotropy – which is encrypted in various types of seismic data - will lead us to more reliable descriptions of fracture density orientation connectivity and permeability pathways in fractured reservoirs. The study presented here shows how to use
