Empirical relations between elastic wavespeeds and density in the Earth's crust

TL;DR: A compilation of compressional-wave (V p) and shear-wave velocities and densities for a wide variety of common lithologies is used to define new nonlinear, multivalued, and quantitative relations between these properties for the Earth's crust as mentioned in this paper.

Physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments

TL;DR: A review of the current understanding of phenomena involved in gas hydrate formation and the physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments can be found in this paper, where the magnitudes and interdependencies of these properties are critically important for predicting and quantifying macroscale responses of hydrates to changes in mechanical, thermal, or chemical boundary conditions.

Computation of linear elastic properties from microtomographic images: Methodology and agreement between theory and experiment

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic properties of the digitized images under dry, water-saturated, and oil -saturated conditions were derived from a suite of four samples of Fontainebleau sandstone with porosities ranging from 7.5% to 22%.

A simple derivation of the effective stress coefficient for seismic velocities in porous rocks

TL;DR: The effect of confining stress and pore pressure on seismic velocities is important for such geophysical applications as overpressure prediction from seismic data (Eaton, 1975, Dutta, 2002; Huffman, 2002, Sayers et al., 2002) and, more recently, for hydrocarbon production monitoring using time-lapse seismic measurements (Tura and Lumley, 1999; Landr⊘, 2001).

Saturation, pore pressure and effective stress from sandstone acoustic properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the Biot effective stress coefficient was used to measure the relationship between velocity and different Vp/Vs ratios in saturated and dry sandstones under varying pore pressure, and it was shown that higher velocity is caused by loss of compliance in microfractures due to stiffening by increasing fluid pressure.
