Mavko G., Mukerji T., Dvorkin J. The Rock Physics Handbook: Tools for Seismic Analysis of Porous Media

Cambridge University Press, 2003. — 340 p. — ISBN: 0-521-62068-6.The Book is presented in the form of seventy-six standalone articles. We wanted the user to be able to go directly to the topic of interest and to find all of the necessary information within a few pages without the need to refer to previous chapters, as in a conventional textbook. As a result, an occasional redundancy is evident in the explanatory text.
The handbook contains sections on wave propagation, AVO-AVOZ, effective media, elasticity and poroelasticity, and pore-fluid flow and diffusion, plus overviews of dispersion mechanisms, fluid substitution, and Vp-Vs relations. The book also presents empirical results derived from reservoir rocks, sediments, and granular media, as well as tables of mineral data and an atlas of reservoir rock properties. The emphasis throughout is primarily on seismic properties. We have also included commonly used models and relations for electrical and dielectric rock properties.
This collection is presented in such a way that it can immediately be applied to solve real problems. Geophysics researchers and students as well as petroleum engineers and environmental geoscientists will value the book for practical problem solving.Basic tools
