University of Texas at Austin - Bureau of Economic Geology - Principal Investigator: Bob A. Hardage
Objective: The objective of the project is to use rock physics modeling in combination with new seismic data-acquisition technologies based on cableless boxes and accelerated-weight and vector-explosive sources to demonstrate how combinations of offset-dependent and azimuth-dependent P-wave and S-wave attributes can be used to optimize exploitation of fractured, shale-gas reservoirs.
Period of Performance: September 29, 2009 to September 29, 2012
