The main purpose of this study is to provide a digital drilling-based method for determining
rock elastic modulus and evaluating the anisotropy. By considering a concept of crushed …

Optimizing the productivity of nonconventional, low‐permeability “shale” reservoirs requires
detailed knowledge of the mechanical properties of such materials. These rocks' elastic …

With the development of oil and gas exploration targets towards deep water and deep layer,
change of subsurface rock physical properties caused by in-situ stress can no longer be …

Insights into wave propagation in prestressed porous media are important in geophysical
applications, such as monitoring changes in geo-pressure. This can be addressed by poro …

Carbonate rocks are characterized by a high heterogeneity of their properties at the outcrop
scale that results from complex interactions between sedimentary, diagenetic and fracturing …

Sonic logging is a useful technique to estimate tectonic stress around a borehole. The key to
successful evaluation of tectonic stress is having a thorough understanding of a forward …

Seismic exploration of deep oil/gas reservoirs involves the propagation of seismic waves in
high-pressure media. Traditional elastic wave equations are not suitable for describing such …

Insights into wave propagation in prestressed media are important in geophysical
applications such as monitoring changes in geo-pressure and tectonic stress. This can be …

Stress-induced borehole multipole waveform characterization and processing interpretation
are critical for borehole stabilization and hydraulic fracturing development. In the first paper …

Shales commonly exhibit anisotropy in their elastic wave velocity, which directly impacts the
accuracy of seismic imaging and their geomechanical response to drilling and completions …
