SEISMIC TIME-LAPSE MONITORING OF POTENTIAL GAS HYDRATE DISSOCIATION AROUND BOREHOLES - COULD IT BE FEASIBLE? A CONCEPTUAL 2D STUDY LINKING GEOMECHANICAL AND SEISMIC FD MODELS

Monitoring of the seafloor for gas hydrate dissociation around boreholes during hydrocarbon production is likely to involve seismic methods because of the strong sensitivity of P-wave velocity to gas in sediment pores. Here, based on geomechanical models, we apply commonly used rock physics modeling...
