Abstract EN
Shear wave velocity is an important feature in the seismic exploration that could be utilized in reservoir development strategy and characterization.
Its vital applications in petrophysics, seismic, and geomechanics to predict rock elastic and inelastic properties are essential elements of good stability and fracturing orientation, identification of matrix mineral and gas-bearing formations.
However, the shear wave velocity that is usually obtained from core analysis which is an expensive and time-consuming process and dipole sonic imager tool is not commonly available in all wells.
In this study, a statistical method is presented to predict shear wave velocity from wireline log data.
The model concentrated to predict shear wave velocity from petrophysical parameters and any pair of compressional wave velocity, porosity and density in carbonate rocks.
The established method can estimate shear wave velocity in carbonate rocks with a correlation coefficient of close to unity
