Amplitudes of reflected seismic waves can change significantly with increasing offset
between the seismic source and the receiver. Observing this offset-dependent reflectivity …

Traditional AVO and petrophysical analysis extracts and exploits anomalous variations
between seismic compressional wave velocity (VP) and shear wave velocity (Vs) to indicate …

P-wave amplitudes may be sensitive even to relatively weak anisotropy of rock mass.
Recent results on symmetry-plane P-wave reflection coefficients in azimuthally anisotropic …

Seismic Petrophysics in Quantitative Interpretation is written for oil and gas industry
professionals and academicians who are concerned with the use of seismic data in …

The subject of seismic anisotropy has a long history, but only recently has it come to be seen
as a central feature of geophysics, as applied to the exploration for hydrocarbons and to …

The advent of borehole shear slowness measurements in sonically slow formations has lead
to breakthroughs in the subsurface profiling of geological bodies. In sand bodies …

Geoscientists and Engineers taking an interest in Petrophysics, are struck by the contrasting
treatment of the Physics Aspects and the Geology Aspects. In most publications, the Physics …

We begin this book with a brief discussion on the basics of seismic-wave propagation as it
relates to AVO, and we follow that with the rock-physics foundation for AVO analysis …

The evaluation of the interplay between kerogen maturation and total organic carbon (TOC)
content within an organic-rich shale is critical to characterizing source rock shale's elastic …
