| Abstract: | Abstract Seismic properties of reservoir fluids are of greater importance and the elastic inversion is fast becoming a commodity data product that oil companies understand and use for risk reduction. This study is an attempt to determine the effect of some petrophysical parameters (porosity, permeability dry density, saturated density, and water saturation) on the behavior of both P-wave (compression wave velocity) and S-wave (shear wave velocity) in sandstone rock samples. Acoustic wave velocity has been carried out for 46 sandstone samples. The measurements have been done for both dry and fully saturated rock samples. |
