Fluid content effect on acoustic impedance and limits of direct detection capability : illustrated on an offshore prospect

The presence of gas and oil in some sand formations decreases the seismic velocity and density to such an extent that anomalously large reflections coefficients are encountered at fluid contacts. Geerstma and Gassmann's theories are equivalent and provide a good way to study the physical proper...
