Fluids in the pore space of rocks causes attenuation and dispersion by the mechanism broadly known as wave-induced fluid flow. Of particular interest to exploration geophysics is inelastic attenuation and dispersion of body waves (P- and S-waves). Understanding fluid-related dissipation in hydrocarbon reservoir rocks, combined with improved measurements of attenuation and/or dispersion from recorded seismic data, may be used to estimate the hydraulic properties of these rocks. Discussing macroscopic, mesoscopic, and local flow and including theoretical models and experimental evidence, this book presents a systematic treatment of attenuation and dispersion mechanisms relevant to seismic, sonic, and ultrasonic wave propagation.

Über Autor(innen)

Boris Gurevich received his M.Sc. (1981) in geophysical exploration from Lomonosov Moscow State University and Ph.D. in geophysics (1988) from the Institute of Geosystems in Moscow, Russia, where he also worked as a research scientist from 1981 to 1992. After visiting appointments at Karlsruhe University (Germany) and Birkbeck College of the University of London (UK), in 1995 he joined the Geophysical Institute of Israel as a senior research scientist. In 2001, Boris joined Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia as a Professor of Petroleum Geophysics. From 2001 to 2019 he concurrently served as an advisor to the Commonwealth Scienti?c and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national lab. Currently, Boris holds a title of John Curtin Distinguished Professor and is the director of the Curtin University's Centre for Exploration Geophysics. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK) and a recipient of SEG's 2021 Reginald Fessenden Award.
