Abstract

In this study, we investigate potential correlation between rock properties and seismic to better understand factors that affect seismic response in UAE Cretaceous carbonates. We correlate geological and geophysical parameters at three different scales: outcrop, seismic and core plugs. We acquired a 2D seismic line on the top of an outcrop. From the same outcrop we examined 17 core plugs. We found that acoustic velocities decrease with increase in fracture density. This result was supported by the outcomes of the outcrop-seismic correlation where changes in fracture density were found to be the main cause of reflection events in these carbonates.
