Cracking the fracture - seismic anisotropy Flashcards
1
Q
Cracking the fractures
What geologic feature did the most productive wells intersect?
A
open conductive fractures
2
Q
Cracking the fractures
Describe seismic wave travel velocities with respect to the direction of fractures
A
seismic waves travel fastest in direction parallel to open fractures and slowes in orthogonal direction
