Attenuation of Seismic Waves in Partially Saturated Berea Sandstone as a Function of Frequency and Confining Pressure

Frequency-dependent attenuation (1/Q) should be used as a seismic attribute to improve the accuracy of seismic methods and imaging of the subsurface. In rocks, 1/Q is highly sensitive to the presence of saturating fluids. Thus, 1/Q could be crucial to monitor volcanic and hydrothermal domains and to...
