Methodology of fractures reconstruction from seismic data via topological analysis of 3D diffraction images
(Protasov M.I. Khachkova T.S. Kolyukhin D.R. Bazaikin I.V. )
The paper presents workflow to provide recovery of fracture characteristics from seismic data. We present discrete fracture modelling technique that properly describes fracture models on seismic scale and we propose combination of diffraction imaging and topological analysis of the diffraction images that provides recovery of discrete fractures modelling parameters. Numerical examples on synthetic models demonstrate detailed reliable reconstruction of the statistical characteristics of the fracture corridors.......
