abstract = "Brine substituting for a light oil in a reservoir production scenario is analyzed with synthetic seismograms to assess the feasibility of using time-lapse or change in compressional attenuation as a monitoring technique. In light of the large relative changes in intrinsic attenuation observed in the laboratory due to brine substitution, time-lapse attenuation observations are an attractive monitoring tool. When fluid substitution occurs, we show quantitatively that time-lapse apparent attenuation is dominated by the change in intrinsic attenuation rather than scattering attenuation, so that we are still able to extract the proper time-lapse intrinsic attenuation. Although apparent attenuation is sensitive to receiver separation and random noise, we are still able to predict time-lapse intrinsic attenuation for these synthetic traces.",
