The Rock Physics Handbook addresses the relationships between geophysical observations and the underlying physical properties of rocks. It distills a vast quantity of background theory and laboratory results into a series of concise chapters that provide practical solutions to problems in geophysical data interpretation.

This expanded second edition presents major new chapters on statistical rock physics and velocity-porosity-clay models for clastic sediments. Other new and expanded topics include anisotropic seismic signatures, borehole waves, models for fractured media, poroelastic models, and attenuation models.

This new edition also provides an enhanced set of appendices with key empirical results, data tables, and an atlas of reservoir rock properties ? extended to include carbonates, clays, gas hydrates, and heavy oils. Supported by a website hosting MATLAB routines for implementing the various rock physics formulas, this book is a vital resource for advanced students and university faculty, as well as petroleum industry geophysicists and engineers.

Features
Contains appendices of key information for use as model parameters and lists assumptions and limitations for various models to help users to avoid common pitfalls
Demonstrates how to implement various rock physics formulae presented in book with worked examples and MATLAB codes
Presents short, technical summaries to allow quick access to key results

Reviews
The concise structure of the articles, confined to mathematical equations with clearly presented assumptions and limitations, makes the content a handy tool for the solution of earl problems encountered in geological and geophysical research. ... Geophysical researchers and students, as well as petroleum engineers and environmental geoscientists will value the book for its practical problem solving. (Pure and Applied Geophysics) ...concisely written, comprehensive and extremely well presented and thus comes highly recommended. (The Leading Edge)
