Seismoelectric wave propagation modeling for typical laboratory configurations: A numerical validation

Abstract: SUMMARYThe seismoelectric effect can be of importance for hydrocarbon exploration as it is complementary to conventional seismics. Besides enabling seismic resolution and electromagnetic sensitivity at the same time, the seismoelectric method can also provide us with additional, high-value information like porosity and permeability. However, very little is still understood of this complex physical phenomenon. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to perform numerical modeling experiments to carefully investigate… Show more

“…SP measurements are widely used in geophysical monitoring of fluid flow in aquifers, hydrocarbon reservoirs, and geothermal fields [e.g., Corwin and Hoover, 1979;Morgan et al, 1989;Wurmstich and Morgan, 1994;Revil and Pezard, 1998;Darnet et al, 2003;Darnet et al, 2004;Jardani et al, 2008;Suski et al, 2008;Bolève et al, 2009], and the zeta potential is an important material property used when interpreting these data (see Jackson [2015] for an overview). The zeta potential also controls the magnitude and polarity of the seismoelectric response [e.g., Pride, 1994;Schoemaker et al, 2012;Grobbe et al, 2014;Grobbe and Slob, 2016]. Rock wettability is strongly controlled by the zeta potential [e.g., Buckley et al, 1989;Strand et al, 2006;Hiorth et al, 2010;Jackson et al, 2012] and subsurface engineering processes, such as modifying the composition of injection brine during waterflooding of hydrocarbon reservoirs, are affected by its value [e.g., Strand et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2007;Yousef et al, 2011;Mahani et al, 2016].…”

“…This boosted the geophysical research on seismo‐electromagnetic phenomena. Several laboratory experiments [e.g., Jouniaux and Pozzi , ; Zhu and Toksöz , ; Schakel et al , ], numerical modeling experiments [e.g., Haartsen and Pride , ; Haines and Pride , ; Garambois and Dietrich , ; Zyserman et al , ; Grobbe and Slob , ; Kröger et al , ; Grobbe et al , ; N. Grobbe et al, Comparison of eigenvectors for coupled seismo‐electromagnetic layered‐Earth modeling, submitted to Geophysical Journal International , 2015], and field tests [e.g., Butler et al , ; Thompson et al , ; Dean et al , ] have been carried out in attempts to understand this complex physical phenomenon better and to develop applications for the geophysical community.…”

“…We will then numerically investigate what effects thin beds can have on the seismo‐electromagnetic signal, thereby focusing especially on the seismo‐electromagnetic conversion. To this end, we use our analytically based, numerical modeling code ESSEMOD (Electromagneto‐seismic and seismo‐electromagnetic Modeling) [ Grobbe and Slob , ; Grobbe et al , , N. Grobbe et al, submitted manuscript, 2015]. We observe that certain thin‐bed geological settings can yield constructive interference of the seismo‐electromagnetic responses, amplifying the signal strength with a factor of 3.…”
