Introduction

www.crewes.org

• Great potential has been reviewed for acoustic reflection imaging logging todetect unconventional subtle reservoirs like fractures and vugs.

• Dipole source is capable of unveiling azimuth and dip information of structuresoutside borehole.

• 3D staggered-grid finite difference method with hybrid perfectly matched layerabsorbing scheme.

• Based on the convolutional model of received waveforms, the relationshipsbetween the reflection amplitude and the offset as well as the relationshipsbetween the reflection reception response and the azimuth angle areanalyzed.

The perfectly matched layer (PML) (Bérenger, 1994)

Drawbacks: 1. Requires the use of split fields2. Its efficiency becomes poor at grazing incidence

after discretization.

Conclusions

www.crewes.org

• A hybrid PML based on the C-PML and M-PML is proposed and used in 3D staggered-grid FD method.

• The wavefield simulation for a directional dipole source in isotropic media isanalyzed. And a transition is detected between the SH-SH reflection and SV-SVreflection with the increase of the offset. Based on the cross-plot of maximumamplitude versus receiver offsets, both the distance between the borehole and thereflector and the critical angle can be calculated.

• For a further discussion, the wavefield simulation for a directional dipole source inVTI media is discussed. The SH-SH reflection coefficient in the VTI medium isintroduced and used to calculate the relationship between the incident angle andreflected amplitude.
