Empirical relation for estimating shear wave velocity from compressional wave velocity of rocks
In situ shear wave velocity is one of the most important parameters for evaluating dynamic elastic moduli and needs special energy sources for generation and receivers for detection. Identification of shear wave phase on a seismic record needs skill as it is not the first wave to arrive and is usually embedded in surface waves. To estimate shear wave velocity for site characterization and for p...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Compressional- and Shear-wave Seismic Velocity Models for the Southeast Geysers Geothermal Field, California
Three-dimensional compressionaland shear-wave velocity (“Vp” and “Vs,” respectively) structure is obtained for the SE Geysers geothermal area from microearthquake arrival-time data. The results indicate a region of high Vp and high Vs in the northwest portion of the area studied, and a low value of VpNs at depths corresponding to the upper part of the steam reservoir. The Vp and Vs anomalies ar...
متن کاملA unifying fractional wave equation for compressional and shear waves.
This study has been motivated by the observed difference in the range of the power-law attenuation exponent for compressional and shear waves. Usually compressional attenuation increases with frequency to a power between 1 and 2, while shear wave attenuation often is described with powers less than 1. Another motivation is the apparent lack of partial differential equations with desirable prope...
متن کاملHybrid ANFIS with ant colony optimization algorithm for prediction of shear wave velocity from a carbonate reservoir in Iran
Shear wave velocity (Vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. Although compressional wave velocity (Vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. Furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. This study proposes a novel methodolo...
متن کاملEffect of borehole stress concentration on compressional wave velocity measurements
Formation elastic properties near a borehole may be altered from their original state due to the stress concentration around the borehole. This could lead to a biased estimation of formation elastic properties measured from sonic logging data. To study the effect of stress concentration around a borehole on sonic logging, we first use an iterative approach, which combines a rock physics model a...
