Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization

The Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization serves as a technical guide and research reference for oil and gas professionals, scientists and students in the multidisciplinary fields of reservoir characterization through the use of Petrosonics. It provides the fundamentals as well as advances and areas for future study in borehole acoustics and rock physics, focusing on the geophysical applications. The Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization combines the fundamental concepts of rock physics, acoustic logging, waveform processing, and geophysical application modelling through graphical examples derived from field data. Results from core studies together with graphics are included to validate and support the modelling process. Potential advantages and comparisons of acoustic based techniques with respect to other petrophysical techniques are covered. The book is dedicated to all possible facets of acoustic applications in reservoir evaluation for hydrocarbon exploration, development and drilling support. Provides a unique integration of borehole acoustics and rock physics in a singular referencePresents theory, application, and limitations of borehole acoustics and rock physics through field examples and case studiesFeatures Petrosonic Workflows for various acoustic applications and evaluations, which can be easily adopted for practical reservoir modelling and interpretation INDICE: 1.
