Abstract

The nature of the fracture filler also significantly this affects the acoustic properties of seismic waves, and this work focuses on the representation of the variation of silicone oil as well as ScCO2 in different complex fracture media. By setting up four different stochastic models: horizontal, vertical, connected, and variable aspect ratio, different fracture medium morphologies are approximated. The results show that the very high viscosity of silicone oil causes the attenuation peaks due to FF-WIFF to shift to lower frequencies coinciding with FB-WIFF, while ScCO2 has very low viscosity and strong sensitivity to connectivity, and there is a difference in the effect of different fracture fillers on stress interactions. This also provides a basis for identifying the elastic response of the fluid in the actual reservoir.
