Prestack P-Wave Anisotropy Characteristic Analysis in EDA Media

Abstract:

With the rapid development of China's national economy, oil and gas development and utilization of resources is also increasing, dwindling reserves of conventional oil and gas reservoirs. These inevitably lead to oil and gas exploration direction shifted gradually from shallow depth, by a conventional steering reservoir unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, fractured reservoirs will become the focus of the current oil and gas exploration areas. This paper studied the basic theory of fractured media, from the speed and the amplitude of pre-stack anisotropic characteristics are analyzed theoretically. Researches of these basic theories of EDA media provide a basis for the exploration of the fractured reservoirs.
