Seismic Scattering Attributes to Estimate Reservoir Fracture Density: A Numerical Modeling Study

We use a 3-D finite difference numerical model to generate synthetic seismograms from a simple fractured reservoir containing evenly-spaced, discrete, vertical fracture zones. The fracture zones are represented using a single column of anisotropic grid points. In our experiments, we vary the spacing...
