Prediction of sonic velocities in shale from porosity and clay fraction obtained from logs - A North Sea well case study

Prediction of sonic velocities in shales from well logs is important for seismic to log ties if the sonic log is absent for a shaly section, for pore pressure anomaly detection, and for data quality control. An anisotropic differential effective medium (DEM) was used to simulate elastic properties o...
