ABSTRACT

The paper describes some aspects of the application of Biot theory to sonic signals spectrum analysis. It contains some theoretical remarks about behavior of real rocks and fluids. There are also formulas for estimation rock physical properties by sonic signal spectrum characteristics. To find out these estimates, numerical methods are suggested. The approach can also be useful for a wide range of sonic measurements in the field of porous media acoustics.

Key words: Biot theory, porous media, sonic measurements, spectrum, sonic logging
