00:01 this conference will now this conference will be recorded. Okay you have my

00:08 there. I'm glad you reminded me till now. We especially with really

00:19 of the equations we've been using uh for some of the multiple regression equations

00:27 we had varying composition. But uh V. P. V. S

00:33 , we were looking at the VP . Density trans et cetera. Most

00:40 these were for pure mythologies. In everything we've been doing with gas mains

00:48 as students mono minerality assumes pure In fact it gets a lot more

00:57 when you have multiple minerals especially and the minerals have very different properties and

01:07 we need to figure out how we're to deal with complex mineralogy is because

01:14 of the time we don't have absolutely rocks, we're looking at some mixture

01:19 minerals and especially when one of the is much more compressible than the

01:27 Uh huh. Yeah. You have problem. That's certainly true in shale

01:33 . And we spent left Alaska Mestre a class talking just about the complications

01:40 organic material and I barely touched that this class and I don't know if

01:46 will but the general idea of having minerals is something we have to deal

01:55 and so will deal with it on few different levels. We'll deal with

02:02 using bounding equations, we'll deal with using precise numerical models. I like

02:09 say precisely wrong because they don't actually real rocks but their precise in giving

02:18 an exact answer for a very highly situation. And then we have empirical

02:27 ways to combine empirical equations in a that seems to work and has been

02:34 by comparing two measurements. Uh So are the three levels we're going to

02:39 at. And but I want to in general first about what composite medium

02:46 is and that is trying to predict properties of a mixture of constituents.

02:57 it's easier to think about when we're with two constituents. But keep in

03:04 that we're going to do this in dimensional hyperspace if you prefer that

03:12 Um but we're dealing with mixtures. we don't have necessarily rigid rules of

03:22 or physics to tell us precisely what's to happen as we mix these things

03:29 . Remember what is Iraq? Iraq an aggregate. Uh So the elements

03:37 the compounds in that rock are in arrangement, but it's not a crystal

03:44 arrangement. And it's it's never, know, like our spear packs.

03:50 never a perfect uniform lattice where we actually use physics and predict precisely what

03:58 going to have. In fact, are very complex media and to characterize

04:05 theoretically in order to make a theoretical , you would have two characteristics at

04:13 different scales at the same time, very fine scales where we don't really

04:21 know what's going on in the very details at grain contacts in within micro

04:29 etcetera. So, uh we could have tremendous computational ability and we could

04:39 numerical modeling if we could characteristic no matter how oddly shaped the pores

04:46 , no matter how oddly shaped the are. If we could come up

04:51 a three dimensional picture of the rock we could characteristics the materials within the

04:59 , the constituent properties. Uh then could use a sophisticated finite element program

05:07 predict the results. And in I published a paper probably 30 years

05:16 where we did just that we did element modeling of rocks. The problem

05:24 , it's very difficult to learn from things because rocks are extremely complicated.

05:34 how do you verify your prediction? no, there's not a single publication

05:41 they were able to characterize a complex , Do the finite element modeling and

05:49 the velocities and show that that could done. Reliably, there's been some

05:54 doing this with a fluid flow predicting . But that's an easier problem.

06:02 more about determining the radius of the throats. Right. So measuring the

06:09 space in the rock and how wide is, and then uh numerically passing

06:16 through it. But as far as properties. Not very good. So

06:23 the ability to do that exists. never seen it used in a practical

06:28 . And so I'm not going to any more about it. I will

06:33 about theoretical models because we can conceptually from those theoretical models. So,

06:43 , we have a mixture. That that I have some property I want

06:47 measure. It could be both module it could be a permeability, could

06:52 a velocity and attenuation, whatever it , we're measuring a property of the

07:01 of the composite medium as we vary concentration of constituents. Right? So

07:09 at X. We have the property constituent eh and here at this

07:16 We have the property of constituent And then things vary in between.

07:21 that's what the composite media model is to tell us how things vary in

07:35 . Some reason. I there we . Now, early on, I

07:42 about the fact that when we talk heterogeneity and homogeneity, it really depends

07:52 the scale of the measurement. For , a sandstone, if you were

07:58 a very microscopic scale could be viewed being heterogeneous. You've got a coarse

08:04 , a clay grain, you've gotta filled with fluid, you've got a

08:08 bubble in the poor. Right? as you move spatially microscopically around this

08:17 , you have very different constituent So you can think of that rock

08:22 being in homogeneous. On the other , if statistically the very, the

08:33 fractions and the constituent properties etcetera. statistically on the average, they stayed

08:40 same, especially uh, and when look at things macroscopic lee at large

08:47 . Right? So microscopically are interrogating as a wave length is smaller than

08:54 grains smaller than the poorest macroscopic lee device that that's a sonic log maybe

09:01 the order of feet. If it's seismic wave on the order of 100

09:07 maybe. Um So that interrogating devices to average the properties over some

09:18 And if you measure the properties at very might find microscopic scale and compare

09:28 to the properties you measure and a scale they're they're different. Uh You

09:36 take the microscopic properties for example, could uh hasta ray through a

09:43 An infinite frequency ray. I can up the travel times in every constituent

09:50 goes through, take the total travel and from that kid of velocity.

09:57 I could treat that medium as a an effective medium where I'm compressing this

10:05 volume. This low frequency wave coming with the wavelengths very long, compressing

10:12 entire volume and it will generally measure lower lower velocity when you do it

10:22 way. When you measure the elastic and then calculate the velocity as a

10:28 . And that's what we call an medium. An effective medium is a

10:33 wavelength prediction as to what the constituent properties the effective properties of the medium

10:41 going to be. And the key here is the wavelength of the measurement

10:48 to the diameter of the heterogeneity. by the way, very commonly,

10:54 heterogeneity is layering. So this plot be very appropriate for looking at the

11:02 of a layered medium. If I'm it at very short wavelengths That are

11:09 a 10th the dimension of the then I'm in the realm of ray

11:19 . Uh huh. I just basically up to travel times. In that

11:24 , if we were actually in that , the time average equation would be

11:29 correct. Right? You add up travel times through the constituents and divide

11:35 the distance. So that is ray . On the other hand, you

11:41 uh two very long wavelength, if more than 10 times or so,

11:47 dimensions of the objects, you have effective medium. And if these heterogeneous

11:53 occur in layers, then you could the properties of the layered medium from

11:59 properties of the layers. Using baptist and we'll look and see what that

12:05 uh in a minute. Now, between though between maybe six and 10

12:13 the dimension size. Uh It gets because in that realm you're going to

12:20 to move from ray theory to effective , it would be nice if it

12:26 a very nice smooth ramp like But in fact they're scattering that goes

12:33 and there's interference between reflections from different ease. You know, basically in

12:41 layered medium, you'd be talking about effects and so forth. And the

12:46 is these interferences give you apparent velocities are, you know, could be

12:53 over the place basically. Um I think of these as apparent velocities as

12:59 to real velocities right? But uh you have to move from right theory

13:05 effective medium theory. It turns out very often this ramp and many,

13:13 are many different theoretical theories for All of them have in common that

13:24 ramp for a single mechanism, a uh uh mechanism resulting in the different

13:35 from ray theory to effective medium one mechanism gives you a very sharp

13:43 like that. Now it turns out one can envision different mechanisms at

13:54 Uh for example uh layers of different or uh pockets, you know lateral

14:02 , ease of different magnitudes, geo and things like that. If you

14:08 a number of different mechanisms with different then you might find that this is

14:16 more gradual change. Most of the , you'll see have a relatively rapid

14:24 from Ray theory to effective medium usually between six and about 10 times

14:30 dimension of the object. Okay, I, as I mentioned before,

14:39 we're going to deal with composite media various levels. Level one, which

14:49 , I would say the least precise using bounding equations. So this tells

14:57 what is the range of possible answers we've already looked at the void in

15:05 Royce bounds and these are the widest bounce. In fact for layered

15:13 they are pretty much the difference between theory and effective medium theory. Um

15:22 it's possible to try to tighten those when we start talking about rock fabrics

15:29 being uh granular fabrics or uh a with inclusions in it. It may

15:40 or it seems to be kind of believed that the machine Strickland bounds are

15:49 and these bounds are much tighter, . I'm not convinced that the machine

15:56 bounds are universal, but it's worth at them. You could say these

16:01 be tight bounds. These would be bounds. Okay then the next level

16:07 could go to infinite precision and we be infinitely wrong but we could be

16:11 precise and repeatable by using Theoretical And the most common one is the

16:22 tacos theory that we've talked about this where we add inclusions to the

16:29 I've shown you some examples using Custer does and we'll look at some

16:38 Uh these were actually preceded by Okano which are similar and uh there are

16:49 are variations in the theory and there some aspects of the theories I don't

16:53 with. Um but you know, Budiansky, there are some claims about

16:59 , which I'm not so clear Uh put this one, I'm not

17:05 convinced. I believe them so, I prefer custard tuxedos but they're they're

17:09 limited in how they're applicable, but looking at because we'll develop conceptual understanding

17:19 third level is dealing with real rocks in my experience we have to resort

17:25 empiricism. Uh We have global Vp . S friends um Vp ferocity trends

17:34 to be locally calibrated. And of , and so if you can locally

17:38 the V. P. B. trends, that's even better. Uh

17:42 we handle fluids substitution in real rocks video Gasman theory. Video theory for

17:51 Gasman for seismic frequencies and for sonic somewhere in between in brian saturated

18:02 we assume that gas plants equations are . But if the N.

18:09 To Iraq's and hydrocarbons in them, not necessarily convinced that we can use

18:16 mains equations. Okay, So we spoke about the boy Royce bounds.

18:25 Royce bound is uh the ice so situation where the strain in each layer

18:32 different. The soft layers compress more the hard layers and that's your softest

18:41 . And the void bound is when in Collins, you can see that

18:45 hard layers dominate here, the soft have less impact. And this is

18:51 highest possible velocity in most cases uh don't get anywhere near the void bound

19:01 log measurements or in laboratory measurements, Royce bound seems to be a practical

19:07 limit. When we have poorly lit uh relatively unconsolidated rocks. We were

19:17 to the boy band. Uh The limit doesn't seem to get to the

19:24 bound and we talked about the critical model and the roemer Hunt Gardner equation

19:30 being practical upper limits. Uh It's that the machine Strootman upper bound may

19:39 a good upper limit, but I actually actually, I haven't investigated

19:44 So that that is something that should done at some point by somebody uh

19:51 the machine strict an upper bound to measurements to see if they form some

19:57 of envelope or if they are violated the measurements. I don't know.

20:02 , what are the machine Strickland Well, the lower bounds has the

20:08 material inside the more compressible material. this is the lower bound. And

20:16 can see when the more compressible material the fluid that this reduces to a

20:23 . And this becomes the Royce Right? They'll be the same.

20:28 of course, with machine Strickland, could both be solid. You can

20:32 an in compressible followed in a very self. Anyway, this is the

20:37 situation because the compressible rock can accommodate of the compression. Whereas the hard

20:44 doesn't have to compress very much at . Right. That's soft materials

20:50 It will accommodate most of the deformation like in the in the Royce

20:56 On the other hand, the machine upper bound is when the soft material

21:03 surrounded by hard materials. So that be a poor or it could be

21:09 more compressible solid. And you can in this case the way it's

21:15 uh we have an arch. So the strongest possible situation you can

21:24 here is a spherical poor or historical in general would be the upper

21:32 So very literally the machine strictly an bound is a spherical inclusion surrounded by

21:39 heart, soft inclusion surrounded by the material. Okay, we have already

21:46 that when we have stack layers in of fluids and suspensions, the roi

21:54 , we have that simple harmonic average or reciprocal average. Now to take

22:09 the fluids into account as we did the last unit. We need to

22:18 a fluid module lists. And what said was that we use woods

22:26 Right, So that's again a reciprocal of the bulk module i of the

22:31 in the solids. Right, So is written with two fluids,

22:36 hydrocarbon and solid materials. That one ferocity is the solid volume. Sw

22:43 ferocity is brian volume. One minus W times ferocity is the hydrocarbon

22:49 And you do the same thing with density, just straight mass balance

22:55 Now, we also talked about patchy last time and we'll come back to

23:01 when we talk about dispersion, but limit on what the fluid module list

23:08 be would be the void average of fluid modules. And what we'll see

23:14 that under certain circumstances, at very frequencies it looks like the void average

23:23 describes the fluid module as well when have low saturation, um and we'll

23:31 come come back to that when we about this version. Yeah. Now

23:41 also mentioned that when you we don't what, where we are between the

23:49 and the void beyond that, we also use the hill average, Which

23:53 just the limit between the two. this is pretty standard operating procedure,

23:59 can be very wrong. But when module, I are very similar to

24:06 other, if these modules are all similar, then the voice and the

24:12 bounds are not that far apart. so if they're close to uh,

24:17 begin with, then the hill average going to be a good guess as

24:21 what things could be, you're not to be two very wrong. Uh

24:27 so if I have a complex mythology courts called dolomite limestone, I can

24:34 them uh this way by taking a average and I might predict the results

24:42 well. But when one of the , one of the constituents is very

24:48 , it could be fluids, it be organic matter. Then what happens

24:54 our void Royce bounds become very The boy found is dominated by the

25:01 material or the less compressible material, Royce bound would be dominant, being

25:08 would be dominated by the most compressible . So they could be far apart

25:15 the hill averages, you know, be very uh significantly in error now

25:26 layered media when these are elastic So they have rigidity. And the

25:35 medium turns out not to be the bound, which would be the volume

25:42 reciprocal average of the bulk module. but a bacchus average where it's the

25:48 weighted reciprocal average of the p wave is the plane wave modules, K

25:54 four thirds mute. And so when have a laminated reservoir and a seismic

26:00 is propagating through it, it's not to the average velocity, is responding

26:07 the reciprocal average of the plane wave . Um And that would be the

26:15 the long wavelength velocity of a highly bedded uh huh, succession. On

26:23 other hand, if I had infinite then I would have a time average

26:29 of course won over velocity is the . Right? So that you can

26:33 this is the time delta T. unit time per unit distance would be

26:41 to some of the volume fractions of constituents times the travel time in those

26:50 . So the slowness is in those is or one over the velocity.

26:56 right. So you could write the average equation this way. And so

27:02 results are going to be different. I said, the back is average

27:06 to be slower than the time Okay. Which brings us to your

27:15 for unit 10 uh huh. Mix sands and shells together. And I

27:24 you the velocities of the sand and shell and um net to gross

27:32 So these are highly into bedded, thin layers of sand and shale and

27:38 with each other. So when I and that's gross. What I mean

27:43 50% is shell right? Um 50% stand if I say net to gross

27:51 that means 20% sand, 80% shell cetera. Okay so um so compare

28:01 baptist average and the rate theory for case. Also uh use uh the

28:09 equation and Gardner little logic trends to the density. You have the

28:17 You could estimate the densities and see they compare using the general Gardner equation

28:26 using the mythology specific equations and then them back together. Um And tell

28:33 if that if that makes a significant . And compare three cases. Stand

28:41 of 20%. and 80%. All now. Um for the preceding example

28:55 could calculate the vertical and horizontal P. And V. S.

29:01 the vertical the the is going to from the back of average. Uh

29:13 about the horizontal bp. Well that's to be more of a void type

29:21 . So I'm going to ask you do a little bit of research and

29:24 out how are you going to calculate horizontal p way Philosophy. So we

29:30 a vertical stack. So we have shell, sand shell, sand shell

29:35 a vertical sequence. How are you to calculate the horizontal philosophy? Uh

29:42 calculate the vertical shear wave velocity and horizontal shear wave velocity, assuming the

29:51 wave is vertically polarized. All right to do this, you're gonna need

29:57 to know the Balkans share module I use the V. P.

30:05 S. Trends and you're not in notes. Um as a rough

30:13 you could try using Royce for void and see how that that gets

30:20 And then answer the question if the zero and the shear wave velocity is

30:27 , what is the P wave? I saw? So these were

30:33 what would the P wave on assad be? Mhm. Okay, coming

30:42 to the hash in Strickland bounds, I've showed you before was one giant

30:51 or one giant inclusion. Right. um how do we justify making the

30:59 that way? Well, it turns that's the same as saying I have

31:04 infinite sequence of these Eminem's here. . So you have a chocolate filling

31:11 you have a hard shell around Right? So these are perfectly spherical

31:17 and M's with an infinite range of . Such that smaller ones keep filling

31:24 . So actually, if I carry to the nth degree, every bit

31:28 space, every boy is going to filled. So that's what the rock

31:33 made of. It's made of um stacking of concentric spheres that fills up

31:43 the void space. But now I have I have no void space.

31:47 have constituent A constituent B. If a. is the hard one that

31:54 give us the upper bound and if B. It is the hard

32:00 Yeah, that gives us the upper . So here we have plotted the

32:08 stripped inbounds and uh we're mixing solid liquid. All right. So we

32:17 a solid here, Both modules one and a liquid here with both

32:22 K. two. And we have upper bound, she's strictly an upper

32:29 . And we also have a soft which is acting a lot like our

32:34 bounds that we've look at. And uh highway liquified rock would presumably be

32:45 the upper bound and a poorly liquified would be near the lower bound.

32:50 that's polk modules. That's easy. sheer modules is a problem again because

32:56 lower bound is going to be Um If you think about it,

33:03 this is a if if the light material here is fluid, then this

33:10 just a suspension of the hard material in the fluid. And uh there's

33:18 structural framework here, the hard material always completely surrounded by fluid. So

33:24 completely floating. It can't rely on from any of the other hard

33:30 hard objects. So this just becomes equation for suspension and the suspension Has

33:37 share modules. Okay. All well here's the equation. And for

33:44 bulk modules is fairly simple And it's same equation for upper and lower bounds

33:50 you uh replace the industry. So the c. one Is one material

33:57 the c. two is the other . By the way, there are

34:01 complicated equations from multiple material, but didn't want to burden you with

34:06 Okay, so we're just looking at materials and usually you can get away

34:12 that. You could have some average all the hard stuff and then whatever

34:19 the unusual soft material embedded in which is the upper and lower

34:25 Well, the way they calculate the bounds is two interchange the the

34:33 So for one bound is written this for the other band make every one

34:38 two and every 21 and absolutely. one gives you the the upper and

34:44 bound. I forget. And it on convention what you're calling one and

34:49 , but you'll know one is bigger the other one. Right? So

34:52 bigger one is the upper bound by way, that's a minus silent sign

34:56 , I just noticed. Mhm. of course at this volume fraction,

35:03 I like to use X. Uh likes to use f. So this

35:08 from his handbook and here's the equation the sheer way. That's a little

35:15 more complicated, but still pretty simple . So for two materials then you

35:24 calculate the machine stripping bounds quite And this is the kind of results

35:32 get and uh mixing a court, mixture and porosity. So this is

35:39 constituents. Are actually not using these . There are more complicated equations for

35:46 constituents. And we have the upper and we're going we're burying the amount

35:52 uh courts That we're going from 0% to 100% courts. So this is

35:59 bulk unsure module lists for Uh porous dolomite and porous courts, I'm

36:09 , upper and lower bound for for stolen might upper and lower bound.

36:14 poorest courts. And you notice the both modules is not changing very much

36:23 we vary from dolomite courts for the bound. Whereas the bulk module of

36:32 minerals are changed quite a bit, you can see reflected in the upper

36:37 there. So you might ask yourself we don't see a big bulk modules

36:44 for the lower bound. And think about what the lower bound

36:49 The lower bound represents the softest material case and everything else. So,

36:55 fact, this is a suspension of and dolomite floating in liquid. And

37:03 can see then that uh the compressibility that suspension is going to be only

37:08 dependent on the bulk module. I course, and dolomite is going to

37:14 more or a great deal on the modules of the fluid. Yeah.

37:22 , so that gives us bounds. gonna try to make a precise prediction

37:33 to do that. We're going to to make lots of assumptions. So

37:37 going to assume an ice a tropic genius aggregate. And we have a

37:46 solid. And within that host where putting in a loop seidel

37:53 these have various shapes defined by their ratios and they are randomly oriented.

38:02 it's again homo genius. Okay, , main exceptions. Uh the medium

38:11 I psychotropic because the inclusions are randomly and randomly distributed, the medium has

38:20 same properties in any direction two, assuming it's going to be a perfectly

38:26 material. So again, are stress are small. The resulting strains are

38:33 . So we can treat it as elastic medium. And we're going to

38:38 interactions between the inclusion. So this that each inclusion is surrounded by a

38:49 volume of host material of solid host . So, low concentrations. And

39:00 Uh huh. The mathematical limitation is I'm not even sure that that is

39:07 sufficient physical limitation. But the mathematical is the amount of uh of inclusions

39:16 any given aspect ratio is no more the aspect ratio. So, if

39:22 have an aspect ratio of 1, I could have 10% ferocity of an

39:29 ratio of 1/10. If I have aspect ratio of 100. Uh then

39:34 could have 1% ferocity of that aspect . So it very much limits what

39:45 can do. Okay, we've looked these equations previously. Don't need to

39:54 the point here. We have the of the inclusions which include terms for

40:00 inclusion shape, the inclusion module, hear, and is the host material

40:07 module us. And then we have effective medium with the asterisk here.

40:13 we have the properties of the host and the effective properties of the medium

40:19 uh the characteristics of the inclusions on side. And uh so it one

40:29 to solve these equations for the effective . Right. I mean for the

40:34 medium properties and by the way, for completeness, these terms which are

40:43 shape related are given this way. they have different values for different types

40:50 shapes. And uh for our purposes going to deal with what are called

40:56 shaped cracks. And I'll define that a minute, basically. They're flat

41:06 that are in cross sectional view are . Okay, so just to summarize

41:18 inclusions with different module I or with shapes require different terms in the

41:24 So inclusions can have different module the K IIs or they could have

41:30 shaped terms, the PM E. . And the que mes, the

41:37 are distributed and oriented randomly, so they occur and their orientation are completely

41:47 . So uh we have a large sample where the statistics works,

41:54 And remember we're going to be This a long wavelength approximation. Uh So

42:02 a wavelength things statistically average out the are dilute leaning. They're not very

42:14 , right? So they're not close to each other where they interact with

42:18 other. Ah. A way to about inclusions is uh to think about

42:27 . You could have multiple scattering off inclusions and uh the extent to which

42:34 closer they are together, the more you have a reinforcing multiple scattering so

42:41 far apart. Um Dry pores have module. I it turns out that

42:54 is a intelligence a problem using included modeling and fluids in that the inclusions

43:07 not connected to each other. And unlike a permeable rock where the poor

43:13 are allowed to equip vibrate. For , in gas mints equations, these

43:19 are completely disconnected. And so there be no pore pressure equal abrasion,

43:27 we have specific circumstances that allow it happen. For example, if all

43:32 pores are spherical, all the pores close to the same degree.

43:38 all the fluids in those poorest. , it will have the same poor

43:44 . Right? On the other if if I have pores of varying

43:47 and varying orientation. Some pores maybe some. Maybe closing some will be

43:54 more than others. And so the pressures will be different in every

44:01 And so you can't you can't properly for the effect of the poor fluids

44:11 way. So what we're going to instead to make things applicable to seismic

44:19 is we're going to model the dry . So we're gonna let the pores

44:25 dry, have zero modules. And we're going to imagine the pores are

44:31 this by the way, the predicting the dry rock properties. That's

44:36 the dry frame. Now we could fluids to that dry frame to using

44:42 substitution. We could use gas mains and add fluids to the dry

44:48 Now we have something that is applicable seismic frequencies. Uh and of course

44:55 fluids we represent the zero share Um Okay, so uh Mapco gives

45:04 caveat here in his hand book and says because the inclusions are isolated with

45:12 to flow. Uh huh. The toxins model simulates a very high frequency

45:20 rock behavior appropriate to ultrasonic laboratory Keep in mind we're still requiring it's

45:27 effective medium. So the wavelength is times bigger than the dimension of the

45:35 . But it's high enough frequency where fact that the pores are disconnected would

45:44 representative of what's actually happening at high where the poor is, you

45:51 the frequencies were so high that you get pressure calibration between the forest.

45:58 uh these models may be more applicable laboratory measurements. But if we want

46:05 emulate what's happening at low frequency we the dry rock and the dry rock

46:13 then saturate with the gasoline equations and another picture of an aqueduct to drive

46:24 . The point that the poor shape a lot to do with how

46:28 This is round pores are arches and hard to compress, whereas flat pores

46:36 be easily compressible. In fact, term architecture comes from the word

46:43 You see. These tend to be but notice here we have an

46:51 So these would have the Ikhwan An aspect ratio of one ish.

46:56 is this guy is still forming an art. So you can think of

47:01 as a poor with lower than one ratio that's vertically oriented and you're compressing

47:08 vertically. It's still pretty strong as to but we're on its side.

47:13 . If it was if you are from the side it would be more

47:18 from the side than north south. , so we're gonna describe steroids as

47:30 three axes. A. B and . Is the short axis.

47:35 Is intermediate and C. Is the axis. And there are specific cases

47:43 we're going to deal with by the ? Yeah, the aspect ratio is

47:50 the short axis divided by the long . Uh Then we have oblate spheroid

47:58 the intermediate access coming out of the here is similar to the long

48:05 So in horizontal cross section. That'd pretty circular. All right. So

48:11 close is much smaller. That's an spheroid if you sit on a beach

48:19 or you know a pancake or Um By the way the earth is

48:28 the short axis is north. South is actually shorter than the access along

48:36 equator. So uh in a sense an outlet spheroid I wouldn't say is

48:42 smaller than B. But A is than me. Um A pro late

48:50 is like an american football and egg ball uh where A. And

48:57 Are closer to each other and they much smaller than see. These are

49:01 called needle like chorus. And then course uh piquant steroids or spheres equal

49:10 equal. See they have an aspect one by the way, an oblate

49:16 . And a pro laid spheroid can the same access aspect ratio A divided

49:22 C. But have the very different . Okay, so here's an oblate

49:32 . So B and C. Are much the same. A. Is

49:38 . And we also call these penny cracks. So carbonates are famous for

49:46 equant poison and buggy pours molded So here this for Aspect ratio of

49:55 very nice. Um sometimes shell fragments so forth. Or we'll have aspect

50:02 on the order of the 10th and granular between crystals or micro factors.

50:09 will be lower. Just as a of terminology, any aspect ratio is

50:16 than a 10 are called piquant. mean what is perfectly equant? Uh

50:23 you know we would say these are aspect ratio greater than a 10th.

50:29 uh Aspect ratio is less than a of frequency frequently called cracks. It

50:36 out that attempt is kind of a watershed aspect ratio. Kind of separates

50:43 regimes. The equant regime from the regime. Yeah. Now tough,

50:53 talking about lips toys here uh in stones, that's kind of tough

51:01 Right? How do you describe that ? Right. So but you can

51:08 do the exercise and you can calculate short divided by the long axis.

51:14 you might find is that the aspect can be correlated to porosity. For

51:20 this low porosity rock tends to have porous whereas the higher porosity rocks tend

51:29 have more piquant. Higher aspect Of course of course there's a correlation

51:36 grain size plays tend to be dominated tend to be more prevalent in the

51:43 grain size, their platelets. So between clay plate that you're going to

51:50 a tendency to have flat forests. Also and the fine grain sizes would

51:59 to be more angular and that could the aspect rations as well.

52:07 we've seen plots like this before, are Custer taxes plus they have uh

52:17 , bulk and shear module versus What do we mean by concentration?

52:24 mean the porosity associated with that aspect . So, the concentration of every

52:31 ratio sums to form the ferocity. , So the sum of aspect.

52:37 . The film of concentrations is the . Okay, we have broken sheer

52:43 in the dash line. Uh is dry rock. The solid line is

52:49 water saturated rock. Now on the we have aspect ratios one And on

52:56 right, we have aspect ratios of . And The scale is a little

53:03 funny though, that this scale is 0 to .5. So from property

53:10 0 to 50%. This Ale is times 10. So actually this goes

53:17 a ferocity of zero to a ferocity .1. All right, so comparing

53:24 plot is a little bit difficult. few points here. Uh Look at

53:32 dry rock bulk module lists can be than the share module lists. So

53:39 high concentrations of low aspect ratio that can happen. Notice here,

53:47 dry p wave velocity is faster, most saturated p wave velocity. This

53:54 to be peculiar to high expectation I've really I've never seen it in

54:01 because even when we have a buggy , we tend to have other low

54:07 for us associated with it. I and you have to have enough for

54:11 city to see that difference, notice bulk modules is less for the dry

54:18 , but the velocity is more. because of the density effect. And

54:23 same thing that the shear wave velocity . Okay, sheer module is

54:28 Pretty much the same for the dry the saturated rock. Remember fluids have

54:37 rigidity so they're not going to contribute much. But again, the density

54:45 is causing the difference now for to these what what might not be obvious

54:54 you uh at these scales is the of the module i on concentration is

55:01 stronger at lower aspect ratios. And because high aspect ratios are not very

55:08 . So I stretched and squeezed these to go from over the same

55:17 Right? So I went from prostitute for high aspect rations. And you

55:24 essentially no no difference between wet and for p waves and share waves.

55:33 For an aspect ratio .1 a big between wet and dry and the bulk

55:39 list, but also the change over same crostini range. The drop in

55:46 bulk and share modules is more Then aspect ratios of one. And if

55:54 uh Went further to an aspect ratio .01, you would see that I

56:00 a similar change from 0-1%. So lower the aspect ratio, the greater

56:09 the module lists in velocity reduction associated the boy's face. That goes with

56:17 aspect rations. And so you can that here these are custard. Tox

56:23 uh predictions for a mixture of pure and water. Sorry, pure courts

56:31 water. So on the vertical axis aspect ratio. So one these are

56:38 pours down to very fine cracks Uh huh. This diagonal line is

56:46 porosity equal to the aspect of So you you know this is a

56:53 zone, right? The theory can't after. Okay, so let's

56:57 And these are contours of constant So kind of an interesting way to

57:03 at things. But let's look at single aspect ratio. I mean a

57:09 concentration. So uh so we have ferocity here or for an equant poor

57:23 have a higher velocity, maybe the of course pretty close to it,

57:29 over 19,000ft per second Aspect ratio. Close to 19,000, sorry, But

57:39 would be an 18 person .001 on order of 17,000 down here. So

57:47 a given ferocity, the lower the ratio, the lower the velocity similarly

57:55 a given aspect ratio to hire the , the lower the philosophy. So

58:02 you can see that uh with ferocity or aspect ratio alone, you can't

58:09 the ferocity right? There's there's a family of solutions, right? That

58:15 give you the same velocity and you start making this real and find it

58:24 geology. This was a study in rocks that I participated in many years

58:31 . And we were looking at the P. V. S ratio.

58:35 we had modeled the back greek sand it was showing as for us that

58:40 the VPs goes up acting a lot a classic sand stones do the reef

58:49 which had higher aspect ratio for is know this this is more like a

58:54 type of texture. The high aspect poorest showed an actual decrease of the

59:01 with increasing ferocity. Um I'm sorry . And in both cases this is

59:08 brian saturated or oil saturated rocks. you add fractures, you increase the

59:15 . P. S ratio. So B. P. S ratio should

59:19 higher when you have more highly Unfortunately, this won't be the case

59:27 you're a gas that trade. But oil reservoirs you can spot the abnormally

59:35 zones by having higher V. PBS . Okay, so remember I said

59:46 this 0.1 aspect ratio kind of separates regimes. The Ikhwan poor is and

59:53 cracks. So we could take the porosity and we could divide it into

60:00 ferocity is the Ikhwan ferocity. And crack ferocity. And uh we're also

60:07 this equal ferocity plus this funny term , four thirds pi alpha epsilon alpa

60:15 the aspect ratio epsilon is a term the crack density. And the cramp

60:23 is defined this way it's basically has do with the uh huh the number

60:33 crafts of certain dimensions. Yeah, ci is the spheroid access,

60:46 So every see there are a certain of those cracks. Right? So

60:52 add these all up and we get crap density and from relations. I'm

61:02 show you soon as a homework exercise that this thing is equal to the

61:08 ferocity. And I don't mean use equation. Right. It's obvious there

61:13 , cracked ferocity equals this. I you to go ahead and do some

61:18 for and derive this from equations which show you now rocks don't have one

61:30 ratio. Right? They have many with many different aspect rations. And

61:36 far as crack stone, this smoke very well for equant ferocity, but

61:42 crap ferocity it turns out that Iraq an effective aspect ratio given by this

61:58 . We'll have a velocity similar to you had used, if you had

62:05 rock were composed of a single aspect . So the effective aspect ratio should

62:15 you the same velocity as a rock a concentration of that aspect rations.

62:24 to get the effective aspect ratio, sum up the concentrations of all the

62:31 aspect ratios. Well that's the total . So that's ferocity there. And

62:37 you divide by the ratio of the to the aspect ratio. So the

62:43 of that for every different aspect And it turns out that if you

62:51 you do this and you stick this the customer talks those equations, uh

62:57 get a velocity very close to what could have gotten if you had just

63:03 a single aspect rations. So it's way of describing a spectrum of aspect

63:10 by a single number. Um, yeah, some of all the concentrations

63:17 the total porosity and this guy here related to the crack density. This

63:26 O'connell and Budiansky ease, crack which they defined on the previous page

63:35 . Okay, so uh this is is nice because there's a mathematical trick

63:41 could employ here and that is suppose want to get a concentration of a

63:51 aspect ratio but I want to go the mathematical limit of the custard toxins

63:58 . Well I could keep adding finer finer cracks uh in order to accomplish

64:05 aspect ratio. So what I'm saying you could accomplish and a forbidden concentration

64:14 an aspect ratio by summing cracks that that effective aspect ratio and um show

64:27 the effective aspect ratio is related to and Budiansky. He's cracked density

64:38 All right now, some practical consequences all of this. Remember I mentioned

64:44 long time ago at the widely time equation acts Like uh your granule of

64:53 stones have an aspect rations on the of .1. And I drew that

64:59 from this slide here, where were for courts transit time. Now at

65:09 time we were looking at logging transit time versus porosity and this is

65:15 wildly time average equation And here's an ratio of the 10th. And you

65:24 the wildly time average equation is kind spanning aspect ratios from .062 .13 or

65:34 like that. I mean you wouldn't to go out to those five ferocity

65:38 anyway, So in the vicinity of 10th for the wildly time average equation

65:48 you could do the same thing for shear wave time average equation. And

65:51 draw a similar conclusion On the order aspect ratio, not too far different

65:59 a 10th. So somehow the point and granule Iraq's act like an effective

66:06 ratio of attack going in the wrong . Okay, so let's try to

66:18 this theory to sonic log measurements. so we have with ology and porosity

66:28 we have a measured VP here and the blue curve is measured VP and

66:39 could then take the prostate and say if all my Horace were equal?

66:44 if they were all spherical. What Custer Tacos model predict? And that

66:50 be the red curve here. And the way this is the V

66:53 V. S ratio. I'm sorry sounds ratio From 0 to .5.

66:59 uh blue is measured. Red is you had a piquant force and so

67:07 can see it doesn't match very well this is work from ted smith.

67:14 he went ahead and said, what if I assumed an effective aspect

67:17 of .1 get it to advance. , there you go. It's much

67:26 similar. Not exactly right. There's over swings, but you know,

67:32 least for the higher velocity rocks. aspect ratio .1 seems to predict things

67:41 well, but then you can turn problem around and you can say,

67:47 , given the velocity and the ferocity the composition, what aspect ratio is

67:55 . And that's this curve here. it would have been nice that had

67:59 to spread over a larger range. , So This is .1 here.

68:07 um anyway, interesting exercise there. of course the ultimate goal was then

68:15 compare the effective aspect ratio to the permeability or the porosity, permeability

68:24 presumably at a given ferocity, the effective aspect ratios would have higher

68:31 but uh don't have that kind of to work with and um that would

68:38 to happen inside an oil company, it's an interesting idea. Okay,

68:44 , I might as well stop There. Are there any questions Quick

68:52 this 1? Yeah. Excuse Yeah. When do we want to

68:58 check with what like our faces are stuff like that to make sure that

69:01 when we're solving for the aspect like it actually makes like geologic sense

69:05 we're not just essentially getting numbers to . Okay, so yeah, I

69:11 the theory allows you without knowing anything the geology except you have to know

69:17 composition. It allows you to compute aspect ratio as if the theory were

69:23 . Right? We don't think it's valid. So you can think of

69:27 as just a phenomenal logical number, ? It's an apparent aspect ratio,

69:33 not real, but then doesn't correlate anything and that you might want to

69:39 within different faces to look to see you have relationships between this derived aspect

69:46 and something else. Unfortunately, I saw that done, but it would

69:51 interesting. I think the best correlation can see here of all these laws

69:58 the effective aspect ratio seems to correlate the ferocity, but maybe there's a

70:04 for that. Mhm. Okay. , I just got curious about

70:08 like it was done. But does actually, what does it mean?

70:16 , exactly. But it's an observation you now have an opportunity to correlate

70:23 geology. Only that bit was never . The guys that that did

70:29 Well uh we're out of the University florida they do and so many and

70:35 associates uh did a lot of this carbonate sediments and that's probably the most

70:45 work I've seen published trying to do like this. Okay guys, we'll

70:50 you on thursday. Yeah,
