  • PREDICTING MECHANICAL AND ELASTIC ROCK PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSURFACE
    Publication number: 20170023689
    Abstract: Mechanical and elastic rock properties of a subsurface are predicted using actual physical samples from the subsurface as an alternative to wireline data obtained from wells. Geological rock data are generated from a physical geological sample of the subsurface. These geological rock data include elemental data, mineralogical data and textural data for the subsurface. The geological rock data are used in a rock physics model to generate elastic and mechanical rock properties of the subsurface.
