Numerical modeling of seismic responses from fractured reservoirs by the grid-characteristic method

Using direct seismic responses of fractures and fracture zones to obtain location and characteristic information is a promising direction of investigation. This book addresses properties of fractured media seismic waves by describing, modeling, and analyzing responses from discrete fractured media,...
