Advanced Interpretation of Fractured Carbonate Reservoirs Using Four-Component Cross-Dipole Analysis

摘要

Industry demand for interpretive techniques utilizing acoustic full-wave compressional and shear data sets has been growing in the last decade. The increase in industry demand is due to the need for more efficient use of the petrophysical and geophysical data sets gathered on exploration and development logging programs. This is evident as more questions arise in regard to how borehole acoustic data can be used in increasingly complex solutions above and beyond the conventional seismic tie and rock properties.
