Exploring Trends in Microcrack Properties of Shales Using Stress Dependencies of Ultrasonic Velocities

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