In the past decade the number of studies about microcracks in rocks has rapidly increased.
This review of recent work concentrates on microcracks in rock as separate entities …

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to
variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for …

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

Quantitative Seismic Interpretation demonstrates how rock physics can be applied to predict
reservoir parameters, such as lithologies and pore fluids, from seismically derived attributes …

Discovering accurate relations between porosity and seismic wave velocities in porous
rocks has been an important topic of rock physics for decades. Such relations, if they actually …

Heterogeneity of rock's fabric can induce heterogeneous distribution of immiscible fluids in
natural reservoirs, since the lithological variations (mainly permeability) may affect fluid …

Four compressibilities are defined for porous rock, relating changes in the bulk and pore
volumes to changes in the pore and confining pressures. Using a micromechanical theory …

After briefly discussing some elementary rock physics concepts, we will (1) synthesize
available P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density information;(2) give empirical V …

Published laboratory investigations suggest an association exists between the ratio of
seismic compressional and shear-wave velocities (V p/V s) and sedimentary rock lithology …

Magnetotelluric and multichannel seismic reflection measurements indicate that the
Phanerozoic lower continental crust is commonly electrically conductive and reflective, in …
