Abstract
Summary
The process of seismic waves’ propagation through 3D heterogeneous multiscale media is analyzed by means of finite-difference simulation using locally refined grids. In order to do reliable conclusion from results of this simulation the digital geological model (3D distribution of P- and S-wave propagation velocities and density) should be developed on the base of real observations: 3D routine seismic and detailed well-logging. Results of numerical simulation reveal appearance of intensive multiple scattering in the fluid saturated areas which are clearly observed in images of scattering energy. The same structures are presented in real field images of scattering energy and correlate with permeability of deep wells.
