Over the past decades, there has been a challenge to understand the fundamental
mechanisms influencing carbonate reservoir characterization due to their high degree of …

Seismic fluid identification works as an effective approach to characterize the fluid feature
and distribution of the reservoir underground with seismic data. Rock physics which builds …

Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference
book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the …

The characterisation of fluid transport properties of rocks is one of the most important, yet
difficult, challenges of reservoir geophysics, but is essential for optimal development of …

I knew when I was asked to serve as the 2013 SEG distinguished instructor that I had tough
acts to follow. In 1998, Ian Jack presented the very first Distinguished Instructor Short Course …

Modeling the elastic properties of organic shale has been of long-standing interest for
source rocks and unconventional reservoir characterization. Organic shales exhibit …

Shale source rocks are composed of various minerals, mainly smectite and illite, depending
on the burial depth, and they can be described as transversely isotropic media. The “pore …

Source rocks are described by a porous transversely isotropic medium composed of illite
and organic matter (kerogen, oil, and gas). The bulk modulus of the oil/gas mixture is …

Laboratory experiments of ultrasonic velocities of fluid‐saturated rocks are often much
higher than the predictions of the Gassmann theory. This difference is usually attributed to …

Structural features of volcanic and hydrothermal systems can be used to infer the location of
magma chambers or productive geothermal areas. The Hengill volcanic triple-junction …
