| Sumario: | Low porosity-permeability structures and microcracks, where gas is produced, are the main characteristics of tight sandstone gas reservoirs in the Sichuan Basin, China. In this work, an analysis of amplitude variation with offset (AVO) is performed. Based on the experimental and log data, sensitivity analysis is performed to sort out the rock physics attributes sensitive to microcrack and total porosities. The Biot–Rayleigh poroelasticity theory describes the complexity of the rock and yields the seismic properties, such as Poisson’s ratio and P-wave impedance, which are used to build rock-physics templates calibrated with ultrasonic data at varying effective pressures. The templates are then applied to seismic data of the Xujiahe formation to estimate the total and microcrack porosities, indicating that the results are consistent with actual gas production reports. |
