Approach to Acoustic Simulation of Inhomogenous Cemented Shaly Sands

mineralogic composition and elastic modules of mineral consistituents Gassmann’s relation. Herein, fluid modeling is performed for a layer, assuming that the layer is homogenous. However, frequently this is not the case. Within a reservoir, that is to be considered as one hydrodynamic system, some lithological parameters, e.g. clay content or cementation, can significantly vary. This paper propose an approach to acoustic simulation of inhomogeneous reservoirs.
