**Abstract:** Seismic wave attenuation is affected by wave-induced pore fluid dissolution. The mechanism of wave-induced pore fluid dissolution is the mutual dissolution between different fluids caused by pore fluid pressure. Compared with the traditional WIFF (wave-induced fluid flow) mechanism, the wave-induced pore fluid dissolution mechanism can predict the attenuation of the seismic frequency band and can be used in well-to-seismic calibration. Conventional methods neglect the velocity dispersion caused by the interaction between pore fluids, which will lead to errors in attenuation prediction. In this paper, we focus on accurately predicting the velocity dispersion at low porosity and permeability, which can be used in multi-scale data matching. The stretch between the synthetic data by using logging data and seismic data needs to be calibrated for more accurate interpretation. The kernel of well-to-seismic calibration is the knowledge of the velocity dispersion between the logging frequency band and seismic frequency band. We calibrate the difference between the two kinds of data by using the rock physical model. Both the model test and field data application prove the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed strategy.
