Abstract

AbstractA discontinuous Galerkin method on unstructured grids is adapted and implemented for simulation of wave response of subvertical fractured systems in carbonate rocks for numerical solution of direct problems of seismic exploration. The present paper compares seismic responses for several mechanical-mathematical models of a fractured reservoir. The models of collectors differ in the presence and location of media interfaces relative to the collector and also in a way of its specification, namely, an explicit selection of fractures with the parameters of the medium in the domain of collector coinciding with the host medium, or differing from it. We indicate the ability to take into account inter-fracture interactions with the use of the model of a fractured layer presented in the paper and study wave processes formed as the result of interaction of seismic pulses with fractured reservoirs.
