Estimation of the anisotropy parameters of transversely isotropic shales with a tilted symmetry axis
This paper reports a new approach for the estimation of Thomsen anisotropy parameters and symmetry axis orientation from ultrasonic P-wave traveltime measurements on transversely isotropic shale samples of arbitrary geometry. This approach can be used for core samples cut in any direction with respe...
