B. ROCK PHYSICS
P and S-wave velocities
S-wave motion
P-wave motion
Rock Matrix Pores / Fluid
Since the direction of particle motion for the P-wave is in the same direction as its
wave movement, it will be more affected by the gas sand than the S-wave, since the
direction of particle motion for the S-wave is at right angles to the direction of its wave
movement. Note that there is also S-wave motion out of the plane shown above.

AVO Classes
AVO: By the intercept and Gradient you can know what kind of fluid do you have and
as a result the class of AVO

F. SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES
Signal Processing Attributes - Median Filter
*The median filter process is a data-driven tool that yields a cleaned-up seismic data
volume in which coherent events are enhanced and randomly distributed noise is
reduced.
