Fracture Density Estimation Using Spectral Analysis of Reservoir Reflections: A Numerical Modeling Approach

We use a 3-D finite difference numerical model to generate synthetic seismograms from a simple fractured reservoir containing evenly spaced, discrete, vertical fractures. The fractures are represented using a single column of anisotropic grid points. Analysis of seismic amplitudes and spectral cha...
