Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization
Auteurs : Saxena Vimal, Krief Michel, Adam Ludmila
The Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization combines in a single useful handbook the multidisciplinary domains of the petroleum industry, including the fundamental concepts of rock physics, acoustic logging, waveform processing, and geophysical application modeling through graphical examples derived from field data. It includes results from core studies, together with graphics that validate and support the modeling process, and explores all possible facets of acoustic applications in reservoir evaluation for hydrocarbon exploration, development, and drilling support.
The Handbook of Borehole Acoustics and Rock Physics for Reservoir Characterization serves as a technical guide and research reference for oil and gas professionals, scientists, and students in the multidisciplinary field of reservoir characterization through the use of petrosonics. It overviews the fundamentals of borehole acoustics and rock physics, with a focus on reservoir evaluation applications, explores current advancements through updated research, and identifies areas of future growth.

Michel Krief’s vast experience covers Africa, Europe, South America and the Middle East. He started his career with Schlumberger and served at different fields as Field Engineer (1975-83). Later he joined Copgo-Hunting to serve as Production logging engineer (1984-87). He joined CGGVeritas and worked at various positions of Petrophysicist, Acoustic Petrophysicist and FE Software specialist (1988-2002). He served PDO, Oman as Senior Acoustic Petrophysicist (2002-05). Later he served as Consulting Petrophysicist at Ipedex-Spie, Paradigm Geophysical and Beicip-Franlab (2005-07). He joined Maersk Oil & Gas to serve as Senior Petrophysicist (2007-14). In 2104 Michel Krief joined OMV Exploration & Production as Senior Petrophysicist to strengthen not only the Formation Evaluation in the assessment of carbonate and fractured reservoirs but also to contribute significantly to the interdisciplinary rock-physics activities in quantitative interpretation, fluid-substitution and p
