A laboratory study of the elastic anisotropy in the Mancos shale at seismic frequencies

We measured the Young's modulus dispersion, P-wave anisotropy and extensional attenuation in two Mancos shale samples as a function of water saturation at frequencies between 0.1 Hz and 100 Hz. The samples were cored along vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the formation bedding...
