Modeling the elastic properties of organic shale has been of long-standing interest for
source rocks and unconventional reservoir characterization. Organic shales exhibit …

The elastic properties of reservoir rocks are important for geomechanics applications; the
most important of which are: analysis of stress changes due to production, analysis of rock …

Organic-rich rocks have long been recognized as source rocks for clastic reservoirs, but
more recently they have gained importance as reservoirs. However, the processes of …

Shale source rocks are composed of various minerals, mainly smectite and illite, depending
on the burial depth, and they can be described as transversely isotropic media. The “pore …

Abstract Longmaxi Formation shale of Sichuan Basin is a typical shale-gas system in which
the rock is the source, reservoir, and seal, and is also the most important horizon for gas …

Prediction of hydrocarbon enrichment and natural fractures is significant for sweet spot
characterization in shale gas reservoirs. However, it is difficult to estimate reservoir …

The Bakken formation in the Williston Basin, is one of the largest tight oil reserves in the USA
and is currently the second largest oil producer in the nation. The Bakken formation is …

Rock physics models are predictive tools used to estimate the velocity, or elastic properties
of formations, based on strong theoretical foundations, as opposed to some of the simple …
