Characterization of Scattered Waves from Fractures by Estimating the Transfer Function Between Reflected Events Above and Below Each Interval

It is important to be able to detect and characterize naturally occurring fractures in reservoirs using surface seismic reflection data. 3D finite difference elastic modeling is used to create simulated surface seismic data over a three layer model and a five layer model. The elastic properties in...
