The Effects of Confining Pressure and Fluid Saturation on Ultrasonic Velocities in Rocks

Laboratory measurements of ultrasonic p- and S-wave velocities were made as a function of confining pressure for vacuum dry, benzene-, and water-saturated samples of Westerly granite, Bedford limestone, and Weber, Navajo, Berea, and Kayenta sandstones. The measurements indicate: 1) water-saturate...
