A Bayesian framework for fracture characterization from surface seismic data

We describe a methodology for quantitatively characterizing the fractured nature of a hydrocarbon or geothermal reservoir from surface seismic data under a Bayesian inference framework. Fractures provide pathways for fluid flow in a reservoir, and hence, knowledge about a reservoir’s fractured natur...
