Short description (English)	Attenuation of seismic waves at low frequencies in reservoir rocks. An experimental study.
Abstract (English)	The main goal is to measure experimentally seismic attenuation on fluid-filled rocks. This information is of critical importance in oil prospecting, and possibly identifying, underground fluids, yet is still missing at seismic frequencies (e.g. on the order of 1 Hz). From discussion with other academic and non-academic scientists, in particular from the oil industry, we have identified a growing request for such data.
