Abstract:
The geologic model accounting for fractures can be constructed in isotropic media by introducing tensor factors of fractures. P-wave velocities traveled in different directions in fractured anisotropic media are calculated with wave equation. Based on the calculated results, the paper discussed the seismic responses of models with various fracture distributions, the residual moveout caused by fractures at the dynamic correction of CMP gathers, and the effects of stacking along offset and azimuths. The results show that the impacts of different fracture distribution to seismic response are varying and can not be negligible. It is also possible to predict the fracture distribution with P-wave data by established the relation between seismic response and fracture distribution.
