Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of rock physics in seismic exploration, and in particular relates to a method for predicting shear wave velocity with pressure variation. Background technique
[0002] Through AVO analysis, geophysicists can better evaluate the rock properties of oil and gas reservoirs, including porosity, density, lithology and fluid properties, and shear wave velocity is an indispensable elastic parameter in the process of establishing AVO model and converting wave analysis . In most cases, there is no shear wave velocity logging data in the research area; people usually replace the shear wave velocity with a constant P-wave velocity ratio, but the P-wave velocity ratio should be different for different media, such an assumption is unreasonable. Therefore, many geophysicists are studying the prediction method of shear wave velocity. There are empirical formulas and those based on rock physics theory.
