Abstract
The seismic response of multiphase flow through reservoirs is a key component of quantitatively interpreting 4D seismic. It is known that the seismic response does not fust depend on the fractions of fluids present, but also on the way that the phases are distributed. Various patchy saturation distributions can arise degending on whether the fluid displacements are dominated by capillary, viscosity or gravity.
