Trends in micro-crack properties and reconstruction of TI elasticity tensors of shales

Stress dependency of the TI elastic tensor of shales is important for seismic interpretation, overpressure prediction, 4D monitoring, etc. Using Sayers-Kachanov formalism, we develop a new model for transversely isotropic (TI) media which predicts stress sensitivity behaviour of all five elastic coe...
