| Research Abstract |
In order to reduce uncertainties in characterizing methane hydrate bearing sediments, the combined use of other physical parameters can be helpful for reliable quantification of hydrate system. Measurement of seismic attenuation from laboratory and field data, as well as theoretical work, indicate a link between attenuation, the presence of fracture and fluid saturation. Derivation of frequency dependency of total attenuation has a potential to provide insight into the characteristics of hydrate system. We developed advanced seismic attenuation estimation methods and apply them for various seismic methods including ultrasonic laboratory measurement, sonic logging, VSP, and surface seismic.
