Comparison of Discrete Fracture and Effective Media Representation of Fractures on Azimuthal AVO

In fractured reservoir development, azimuthal AVO (AVOaz) properties of reflected PP waves from reservoir tops are often used to infer fracture properties. The fracture parameter inversion is based on either an effective media model (EMM) or a discrete fracture model (DFM). We address the difference...
