Abstract

Woodford Shale exhibits complex geophysical features (e.g., sub-seismic fractures) that are critical for gas exploration. Seismic attributes are effective tools in characterizing the patterns of discontinuities within shale reservoirs. In this study, we characterize a fault/fractures system within Woodford shale by integrating seismic attributes analyses and lab experiment modeling for better interpretation of this system.
