Abstract
Summary
A new approximation for qP-wave velocities is developed for shales (TI medium). Proposed approximation is based on the linear relation between the velocity curvatures taken at zero and 90 degrees angles. We found that this relation is controlled by one parameter only. The resulting approximation is using the average value of this parameter from a large dataset of shale properties. Comparing with other known approximations for few shale samples, the proposed approximation shows the best accuracy.
