Abstract
A combination model combining a velocity regression method (V-reg) with the modified ANNIE model may be used to predict the stiffness coefficients, C, in a transversely isotropic medium without using the Stoneley wave velocity. The stiffness coefficients may be used to characterize the surrounding formation, which may be used in hydraulic fracture modeling, stage/perforation design, and well completion operations (e.g., perforating and fracturing operations).
