Abstract
In our work we investigate the effect of transport and elastic properties anisotropy on seismic attenuation due to fracture-to-fracture wave-induced fluid flow using numerical algorithm of estimation of seismic wave attenuation in anisotropic fractured porous fluid-saturated media. Algorithm is based on numerical solution of anisotropic Biot equations using finite-difference scheme on staggered grid. We perform a set of numerical experiments to model wave propagation in fractured media with anisotropic fractured-filling material providing wave-induced fluid flow within interconnected fractures. Recorded signals are used for numerical estimation of inverse quality factor. Results demonstrate the effect of fracture-filling material anisotropy on seismic wave attenuation.
