F-K Characteristics of the Seismic Response to a Set of Discrete Parallel Fractures

We model seismic wave propagation in a reservoir with discrete fracture zones using a finite difference scheme, which implements the Coates-Schoenberg formulation for fractured media. We study the variation of scattered energy in the direction perpendicular and parallel to the fracture strike. In th...
