    • S-wave Splitting Analysis: Covariance Matrix Method and Preliminary Application 

      Li, Xu; Sze, Edmond; Burns, Daniel R.; Toksoz, M. Nafi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2004)
      From polarization analysis on a covariance matrix, a method of S-wave splitting analysis is developed, which processes 3-component recordings simultaneously, rather than just 2 horizontal components as done traditionally. ...
    • Fluid Flow Modeling in Fractures 

      Sarkar, Sudipta; Toksoz, M. Nafi; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2004)
      In this paper we study fluid flow in fractures using numerical simulation and address the challenging issue of hydraulic property characterization in fractures. The methodology is based on Computational Fluid Dynamics, ...
    • Seismic Scattering Attributes to Estimate Reservoir Fracture Density: A Numerical Modeling Study 

      Pearce, Frederick Douglas (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2003-09)
      We use a 3-D finite difference numerical model to generate synthetic seismograms from a simple fractured reservoir containing evenly-spaced, discrete, vertical fracture zones. The fracture zones are represented using a ...
