Tight gas reservoirs are often defined as gas-bearing sandstones or carbonates having in-situ permeabilities to less than 0.1 mD (Holditch, 2006; Smith et al., 2009). reservoir rocks can be at different physical conditions: deep shallow; over- underpressured; high temperature low temperature; and under stress states. The reservoir-forming rock have textures such shaley silty unconsolidated clean-cemented sandstones. These produce rates. blanket lenticular, homogeneous heterogeneous, contain...

Can a theoretical inclusion model — specifically, the differential effective medium (DEM) match experimental velocity data in rocks that are not necessarily made of inclusions, such as clastics? It is indeed possible some cases by using an almost constant aspect ratio (AR) within wide ranges porosity and mineralogy. We approach this question empirical velocity-porosity equations proxies for data. By finding DEM AR to these equations, we find required range narrow. Moreover, about 0.13 can be...
We offer an effective-medium model for estimating the elastic properties of high-porosity marine calcareous sediment and diatomite. This treats as a pack porous grains. The effective moduli grains are calculated using differential (DEM) model, whereby intragranular ellipsoidal inclusions have fixed aspect ratio filled with seawater. Then these spherical modified (scaled to critical porosity) upper Hashin-Shtrikman bound above porosity lower (carbonates) (opal) bounds below porosity. best...

The advantages of laminates in terms the chemical properties and mechanical properties/weight relationship have motivated several applications fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites naval constructions due to reduction structural weight.

The present work analyzes the use of hybrid joints for construction yachts with purpose reducing structural weight. By means elaboration specimens made tubular steel and fiberglass (GFRP). This is to significantly reduce weight superstructure, allowing yacht be lighter. At same time this reduces fuel consumption, being environmentally friendly. Several test tubes were built different layers covering structure in form a crosshead, give it greater strength. To forces supported by composite...
Summary We propose a new attribute known as Anisotropic Extended Elastic Impedance (AEEI). AEEI, can be calculated in various azimuths, but the most significant azimuths for calculation, are across fractures (AEEI⊥, = 0 Deg. example model) and parallel to (EEI 90 model). The Factor A has seismic anisotropy information, which modifies (EEI), anisotropic reservoirs such fractured plays. reduce EEI. easily inverted used Fracture characterization. demonstrate this with Horizontal Transverse...
We propose an effective‐medium model for estimating the elastic properties of a random aggregate identical, spherical, cemented poroelastic grains.

At low porosity, the elastic moduli of rock mineral matrix often dominates those whole rock. A sedimentary may be considered as a composite and include constituents with very different shapes. To describe fabric these rocks, an unmanageable number parameters needed. Understanding behavior synthetic composites, which are easier to model, enables us quantify effect each parameter on independently. We test whether differential effective‐medium (DEM) self‐consistent (SC) models can accurately...

Seismic derivable elastic attributes, e.g., impedance, lambda-rho, mu-rho, and Poisson impedance (PI), are routinely being used for reservoir characterization practice. These attributes could be derived from inverted [Formula: see text], density, usually indicate high sensitivity to lithology fluid. Due the of such errors or measurement noise associated with acquisition, processing, inversion prestack seismic data will propagate through products, lead even larger in computed attributes. To...
