Abstract
This book is to develop a methodology for enhancing fracture detection and correctly delineating reservoirs with fractures. From the rock mechanics to seismic forward modeling then backward AVO inversion, the book deeply explores the mechanical formation of fractures and fractured media, and presents an enhanced fracture detection technique that uses a new finite-difference scheme to accurately model fractures and analyze the fracture response in seismic traveltime and amplitude, and then develops a method for accurate reservoir delineation by deriving new AVO fracture equations to correctly estimate the properties of the fractured medium, the host medium and fractured medium with impedance contrast.
