why is Vs less affected by pore fluids

they have no shear strength

how does less compressible fluids affect the Vp/Vs ration (Poissons)?

less compressible fluids=higher Poissons

(no shear strength in fluid)

4D effects of common production processes

water flood

gas injection

gas production

gas out of solution

.

4D vs. 4C seismics

 

4D seismics = 3D surveys repeated a number of times   4C seismics = 4 components; i.e. 3 geophone and hydrophone (pressure)

 

Primary changes in the reservoir during production of hydrocarbons

 

Pore pressure   Pore fluids (saturation, viscosity, compressibility, fluid type   Temperature (water flood, steam injection)

 

Secondary changes in the reservoir during production of hydrocarbons

 

Compaction overburden stress porosity, fracturing chemical changes

bulk modulus

(one word)

stiffness

how do porosity and bulk modulus affect how observeable a change in pore fluids is

 

Higher the porosity the greater the impact of fluid composition Stiffer the rock the more difficult it is to see the effects of fluid composition

 

Rocks saturated with less compressible fluids e.g. oil and brine show...

higher Vp and impedances

higher Vp/Vs

Vs is much less affected by pore fluids because...

 

fluids have no rigidity affected by density changes

Rocks with less compressible fluids have...

higher Vp/Vs

higher Vp and impedances

Low porosity rock with crack-like low aspect ratio pores may have a lower velocity than a high porosity rock with spherical high aspect ratio pores because...

former are more compressible

different classes of

bright spot dim spot polarity changes

bright spot class 3

polarity change class 2

dim spot class 1
