Finite Difference Modeling of Seismic Responses to Intersecting Fracture Sets

Fractured reservoir characterization is becoming increasingly important for the petroleum industry. Currentmethods for this task are developed based on effectivemedia theory, which assumes the cracks or fractures in a reservoir are much smaller than the seismic wavelength. A discrete fracturemodel h...
