...Guangtan Huang; Jing Ba; Davide Gei; José M. Carcione ABSTRACT Fracture-induced azimuthal anisotropy of seismic waves has useful applications in the characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs as well as the overburden. Existing theories face problems estimating the fracture-weakness parameters...

... in relation to reservoir conditions (depth and pressure–temperature), fluid properties (contaminants), and overburden integrity (faulting and seal capacity) that bring into question the viability of the Liverpool Bay fields as effective stores for the future storage of CO 2 . As well as having clear relevance...

...Shaofeng Wang; Kanghui Liu; Zizi Pi; Fuchao Tian; Yalan Yang Abstract Fractures in the overburden induced by mining disturbances provide a channel for fluid flow between the surface and the underground. Mining-induced strata movement and fracture distribution are influenced by the gravity and dip...

... Corporation data and offshore field data with a complicated overburden (salt and gas overburden) and obtain seismic images with high resolution. Benchmarks against commercial implementations also are demonstrated, which proves that the positioning of the reflectors is more reliable and accurate with the new...
