Rock physics has evolved to become a key tool of reservoir geophysics and an integral part
of quantitative seismic interpretation. Rock-physics models adapted to site-specific …

Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference
book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the …

Quantitative Seismic Interpretation demonstrates how rock physics can be applied to predict
reservoir parameters, such as lithologies and pore fluids, from seismically derived attributes …

Laboratory measured seismic velocities of various rocks as a function of pressure and
saturation are inverted to obtain their spectra of pore shapes. The inversion is based on the …

A commonly used model for a transversely isotropic cracked rock is that by Hudson (1980,
1981). This model is based on a simplified analysis of a thin circular crack, with …

Volcanic provinces host rocks and magmas subjected to a wide spectrum of conditions from
the occurrence of magmatic, volcanic, structural, tectonic, and hydrothermal activity. The …

Seismic properties of the uppermost igneous crust of the oceans are dominated by porosity
effects, that is, the size, concentration, and shape of void spaces. Porosity is initially …

Introducing the first, self-contained reference on acoustic waveform logging Acoustic
measurements in boreholes were first made as a specialized logging technique in …

Explicit schemes of Mori-Tanaka and Kuster-Toksöz for estimating elastic properties of
multiphase composites are compared and contrasted. Both methods are known to have a …

Seismic characterization of fractures is of great importance in many disciplines, for which
rock physics models provide the basis to link fracture properties to seismic attributes …
