Abstract
The method of the invention is employed for determining the state of saturation in a subterranean formation using only seismic velocity measurements (e.g., shear and compressional wave velocity data). Seismic velocity data collected from a region of the formation of like solid material properties can provide relatively accurate partial saturation data derived from a well-defined triangle plotted in a (&rgr;/&mgr;, &lgr;/&mgr;)-plane. When the seismic velocity data are collected over a large region of a formation having both like and unlike materials, the method first distinguishes the like materials by initially plotting the seismic velocity data in a (&rgr;/&lgr;, &mgr;/&lgr;)-plane to determine regions of the formation having like solid material properties and porosity.
