Abstract
Understanding the seismic response from complex reservoirs is essential for remote sensing of properties relevant in reservoir characterization and production of hydrocarbons. In this paper we demonstrate the use of coupling rock physics and seismic modeling for understanding the seismic response of a fluid-filled reservoir with vertical fractures. We particularly focus on Amplitude Versus Offset signatures of both P-P and P-S waves using viscoelastic and anisotropic modeling, and compare these to results obtained using simpler modeling strategies. Our general conclusion is that the use of anisotropic and visco-elastic modeling seems important when the seismic spread makes an angle to the direction of the fractures.
