Seismic attenuation and dispersion in reservoir rocks: broad-band experiments versus theoretical modelling

我们建议建立油气藏地震衰减和频散的理论模型，并提出一种对这些模型进行实验检验的新方法。这些模型将提供新的信息，以便从地球物理数据中实质性地改进对油气藏的描述。研究结果将通过开发定量描述澳大利亚盆地储集层特征的新技术，帮助优化勘探并提高石油和天然气回收率。这项研究将提高澳大利亚在基础和应用地球物理研究方面的竞争力，并将使澳大利亚地球物理行业作为石油勘探和生产的先进地球物理技术提供商受益。

We propose to develop theoretical models of seismic attenuation and dispersion in hydrocarbon reservoirs, and a new method for experimental testing of these models. These models will provide new information to substantially improve characterisation of hydrocarbon reservoirs from geophysical data. The results will help optimise exploration and improve oil and gas recovery through development of new technologies for quantitative reservoir characterisation in Australian basins. This research will enhance Australian competitiveness in basic and applied geophysical research, and will benefit the Australian geophysical industry as a provider of advanced geophysical technologies for oil exploration and production.
