Estimating The Elastic Moduli Of Transversely Isotropic Formations

Using acoustic logging data, we develop a method of estimating the horizontal shear modulus C[subscript 66]) of a transversely isotropic formation with its axis of symmetry parallel to that of the borehole. The data for the inversion are the wavenumbers, at every frequency, of the guided waves. The...
