| Summary | Beginning with a brief discussion on the basics of seismic-wave propagation as it relates to AVO, the authors follow that with the rock-physics foundation for AVO analysis - including the use of Gassmann's equations and fluid substitution. Also included is a brief presentation on the early seismic observations, and how they led to the birth of AVO analysis; the various approximations for the Zoeppritz equations with a clear summary of the assumptions and limitations of each approximation; a section on the factors that affect seismic amplitudes; a discussion of the processing considerations that are important for AVO analysis; an exploration of the various techniques used in AVO interpretation; and discussion on topics such as the influence of anisotropy in AVO analysis, the use of AVO inversion, converted-wave AVO, and the future of the AVO method. |
