Interpreting the effects of shale rock properties on seismic anisotropy by statistical and machine learning methods

Quantitative Characterization of Elastic Parameters and Its Implications for Reservoir Evaluation: A Case Study on High Clay-rich Continental Shale

“…The presence of naturally layered minerals in clays can induce anisotropy. , One distinguishing characteristic of the Gulong shale is its substantial clay content as determined by XRD analysis. Figure a illustrates the comprehensive MAPS scanning image of the core obtained from well B.…”
