Abstract

Compressional velocities V_p were measured in laboratory samples at ultrasonic frequencies (0.5-1.5 MHz) and under varying confining and pore fluid pressures (up to 40 MPa). Forty-two water saturated sandstones having a range of porosities, permeabilities and clay contents were studied. The results are described and discussed. -from Author
