The fractal texture (or fabric) of porous media, which supports fluid flow at different scales, is
the main cause of wave anelasticity (dispersion and attenuation) on a wide range of …

Laboratory experiments on partially saturated rocks show that seismic attenuation can be
significant. The main mechanism, wave‐induced local fluid flow (WILFF), is affected by the …

Sedimentary rocks are often heterogeneous porous media inherently containing complex
distributions of heterogeneities (eg, fluid patches and cracks). Understanding and modeling …

Abstract Knowledge about the seismic elastic modulus dispersion, and associated
attenuation, in fluid-saturated rocks is essential for better interpretation of seismic …

Traditional optimization algorithms are usually applied to estimate the elastic parameters of
the subsurface by using field seismic data. However, these optimization algorithms highly …

Carbonate rocks often exhibit complex pore structure characteristics, and the different pore
structure of rocks with fluid saturation have different impacts on dispersion and attenuation of …

Knowledge of dispersion and attenuation is essential for better reservoir characterization
and hydrocarbon identification. However, limited by reliable laboratory data at seismic …

Rock properties are environment-and condition-dependent which render field-laboratory
comparisons ambiguous for a number of known and unknown reasons that constitute the …

Modelling the dispersion and attenuation of seismic waves in partially saturated rocks is
important for quantitative interpretation of seismic data. To observe the partial saturation …

S-wave attenuation in porous media is affected by the presence and properties of saturating
fluids. We measured the ultrasonic S-wave velocities of three types of tight rocks (siltstone …
