Seismic characterization of fractures in a naturally fractured gas reservoir

We present an approach to locate fractures in a naturally fractured Gas Reservoir using seismic reflection methods.Current commercially available technology is often able to locate the fracture zones and fracture orientation, but lack the precision and accuracy to guide a well straight into a fractu...
