摘要
Using a seismic physical model, the authors study impact of aligned fractures on Q values of the model, and identify the relationship between fracture orientations and Q value changes. The physical model consists of three layers. The first layer is made of epoxy resin, and the third layer is made of mixed material. The second layer is a bakelite layer, simulating HTI media with aligned vertical fracture. 2D data of three lines from different directions were acquired using the pulse-transmission method with the physical model submerged in a water tank. According to the experiment analysis, Q of vertical fractured layer changes versus azimuth, where the biggest of Q value appears in the direction parallel to the fracture orientation and the smallest in the normal direction to the fracture orientation. This would be helpful for the fracture orientation detection.
