Rock physics addresses the relationship between the rocks’ elastic properties such as density, seismic wave velocities, and moduli as a function of composition, diagenetic processes, porosity, and fluid content. Such analysis is commonly carried out to discriminate between the reservoir and non-reservoir lithology, predict the reservoir’s expected seismic response, and to observe the relations of such elastic properties as a function of subsurface geology (rock physics diagnostic) by utilizing a given Vp-Vs-Rho set (P-wave, S-wave velocities, and density).
