Fluid substitution theories and multicomponent seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs
Includes bibliographical references (pages 171-175).

Estimating Seismic Anisotropy: Fluid Substitution Theory, 3D-Printed Inclusion Models, and Multi-Component 3D VSP in the Bakken Shale
… In this dissertation, I tried to understand how fluids and lithology influence the elastic properties and seismic anisotropy of rocks, theoretically, experimentally, and in the field. I derived anisotropic fluid-substitution equations for the cases of HTI and orthorhombic media. The derivation …

Seismic attribute analysis and CO2 monitoring within the Mississippian reservoir, Wellington field, Sumner County, Kansas
… saturation varied from 50% to 0% respectively. Fluid substitution modeling was used to evaluate Mississippian reservoir acoustic property changes due to CO2 saturation changes. CO2 saturation levels of 10%, 25%, and 50% displayed a decrease (larger absolute value) in normal-incidence acoustic …

Poroelastic properties of carbonates: a case study on Indiana limestones
… of the rock with deionized water as a pore fluid; during exposure to aggressive intrinsic fluid, the rock’s solid matrix becomes softer. This type of rock-fluid interaction affects fluid substitution models, such as Gassmann’s model, which fail to predict the actual stiffness of the …

Stiffness characterization of mechanically-compressed cohesive soils using wave propagation
… from static compression. By using Gassmann's fluid substitution and a corrective X factor, a new technique is developed that can predict the dynamic bulk modulus based on the static CRS measurements.

Facies-driven, seismic inversion-based property modeling, for flow simulation of Delhi Oil Field, Louisiana
… interpreted in the dip direction S25E. Gassmann fluid substitution evidences a facies-dependent fluid response to oil. The facies dependencies are honored for property modeling of saturation, porosity, and permeability. Seismic inversion for Vp:Vs ratio is used to estimate bulk oil volume. The …

Determination of Heterogeneity by High-Resolution Seismic Reservoir Characterization in the Heavy Oil Temblor Reservoir of Coalinga Field, California
… A petrophysical analysis based on Gassmann fluid substitution suggests a 27% P-wave velocity decrease in steam-saturated intervals. Seismic to well log ties were problematic and vexing due to the resulting statics, wavelet changes, and line mismatches. Mapping and flattening on a deeper …

Accurate AVO modelling and reservoir characterisation of the upper cretaceous deepwater reservoirs in the Vøring Basin.
… is concerned with the identification of fluids and lithology. Seismic interpreters seek to distinguish hydrocarbons from brine and sand from shale. Amplitude vs offset (AVO) is a fundamental technique used for this purpose. AVO occurs when seismic sound waves encounter compressible Gas or …

Bioinspired microvascular self-healing in polymers and composites
Inspired by fluid transport in biological systems, engineered vasculature in synthetic materials provides an effective pathway to self-healing and ultimately mechanical stasis. In polymers, autonomous release of reactive chemistries from ruptured vasculature offers distinct advantages over prior …

Challenges of geophysical processes and interpretation of an unconventional play: a case study from Wattenberg field, Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado, The
… variations, and the inability to use Gassmann's Fluid Substitution theory directly. While general trends of limited permeability, over-pressurized tight-porosity, and highly-fractured mediums tend to hold, those fractures are likely cemented, stress regimes within unconventional targets can …

CO₂ geosequestration in the Lakota Formation, Powder River Basin, WY, USA
… Lakota Formation are investigated using Gassmann fluid substitution across a wide range of potential temperature, pressure, and CO2 saturation conditions. Storage constraints are also investigated, including storage capacity and injectivity. A potential zone of approximately 45 feet in the Lakota …
