Title: Correction of shear log for elastic anisotropy
Inventor: BALL GREGORY JOHN
IPC: G01V1/50
Filed: 2013-02-28
Granted: 2015-11-05
Abstract: A method is described for determining a shear wave velocity of a transversely isotropic (TI) region (38) of an earth formation traversed by a wellbore (34) with a non-zero relative dip angle between a longitudinal axis (34a) of the wellbore and an axis of symmetry (40) of the TI region. A sonic tool (10, 20) is used to measure shear velocities in the TI region with polarisations orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the wellbore. One of the shear velocities is identified as a quasi-shear velocity. A shear wave velocity is calculated, as a function of the quasi-shear velocity, for propagation in a direction along the axis of symmetry (40) of the TI region. Where the orientation of the sonic tool is not known and the measured shear velocities comprises a fast shear velocity and a slow shear velocity, the method comprises identifying either the fast or the slow shear velocity as a quasi-shear mode.
