In the oil and gas industry, basins contain with fractured base
ments rocks have been
garnered much interest due to its fractures’ potential as a hyd
rocarbon reservoir
(Sircar, 2004). However, since these basements are typically me
ta-sediments or
igneous rock, it is generally difficult to analyze the fracture
network based on seismic
images, due poor seismic resolution (attenuation of higher freq
uency, as highlighted
in yellow in
Figure 1
) and lack of sedimentary layers with contrasting acoustic
impedance. Typically, fractured basements are made of igneous a
nd/or meta-
sediments rocks, where the ambiguous fracture network is genera
lly difficult to
image, locate and interpret
