P and SV waves 3-D Numerical Modeling of AVOA from Heterogeneous Fractured Reservoirs

We study the effects of fracture-induced anisotropy and lateral fracture density heterogeneity on the reflected P and SV wave amplitude variation with offset and azimuth (AVOA), using 3-D finite-difference simulations. The models show that for an isotropic layer overlying on a fractured reservoir, t...
