Rock physics models allow establishing a physical-mathematical relation between rock and fluid properties and geophysical attributes. In this study, we propose to apply rock physics models to a geophysical dataset measured at two well locations near the proposed Snake River Plain FORGE site in eastern Idaho. The potential target is a rhyolite layer, which occurs between 2,000 and 3,000 m. The a...

[1] We utilize seismic converted phases on more than 700 receiver functions calculated for 42 stations in the South Island, New Zealand, to infer crustal and uppermost mantle structure. We determine the crustal thickness from direct observations of conversion from the Moho interface and infer zone of the maximum thickness being located along the axis of the Southern Alps, just east from the Alp...

stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. in all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. the dependency of per...

Abstract Seismic characterisation of deep carbonate reservoirs is considerable interest for reservoir distribution prediction, quality evaluation and structure delineation. However, it challenging to use the traditional methodology predict a deep-buried because highly nonlinear mapping relationship between heterogeneous features seismic responses. We propose machine-learning-based method (rando...

Aimed target area is deeply buried, complex lithology, dual media, reservoir development degree controlled by a variety of factors, meanwhile, lateral thickness and lithofacies change rapidly, strata formation poor. Therefore, igneous rock has difficulty in predicting, since seismic complicated to track trace, attribute analysis hard determine the time window, inversion modeling requires sophis...
