The characterization of natural and induced fractures, in terms of fracture orientation, fracture spacing (or density), and fracture compliance, is critical in reservoir development. Given the multiscale nature of the fracture distribution, the commonly used effective anisotropy assumption may not be valid. The recently proposed double-beam method to characterize the fractured reservoir has the potential to invert for the spatially dependent fracture network information for a horizontal reservoir layer. However, the inverted results can be biased if the fractured reservoir layer is dipping. As a result, it is essential to estimate and include the dip-angle information of reservoir layers in applying the double-beam method. We used forward modeling to demonstrate the bias, and we developed a new method to correct for the error caused by the reservoir layer dip angle. For a dipping layer, our new method can correctly invert for the fracture parameters, including the fracture orientation and fracture spacing.

A first-order seismic characterization of Northern Apulia (Southern Italy) has been provided by considering geological information and outcomes of a low-cost geophysical survey. In particular, 403 single-station ambient vibration measurements (HVSR techniques) distributed within the main settlements of the area have been considered to extract representative patterns deduced by Principal Component Analysis. The joint interpretation of these pieces of information allows the identification of three main domains (Gargano Promontory, Bradanic Through and Southern Apennines Fold and Thrust Belt), each characterized by specific seismic resonance phenomena. In particular, the Bradanic Through is homogeneously characterized by low frequency (<1 Hz) resonance effects associated with relatively deep (>100 m) seismic impedance, which is contrasting corresponding to the buried Apulian carbonate platform and/or sandy horizons located within the Plio-Pleistocene deposits. In the remaining ones, relatively high frequency (>1 Hz) resonance phenomena are ubiquitous due to the presence of shallower impedance contrasts (<100 m), which do not always correspond to the top of the geological bedrock. These general indications may be useful for a preliminary regional characterization of seismic response in the study area, which can be helpful for an effective planning of more detailed studies targeted to engineering purposes.
