As globle resource plays, fractured reservoirs draw attentions from both the academy and industry. During the exploration and development, amplitude, traveltime, velocity, and attenuation anisotropies are valuable for both natural and hydraulic fractures. The fluid-flow effects and scattering effect can cause apparent attenuation, which makes attenuatation anisotropy attributes potientials in unconventional reservoir characterization. We derive the anisotripic attenuation expression, and then develop the asscoiated frequency versus azimuth (FVAz) attribute, which have been tested in synthetic example. In the field applications of unconventional resource plays, attenuation anisotropy and FVAz show promise and effectiveness in characterization of the fractured reservoirs.
