Abstract
Summary
Being an important parameter for geophysical data interpretation, density is often poorly studied for many basins, both by core and log data. This is the case for Dnieper-Donets basin. Multiple projects on joint gravity and seismic inversion allowed authors to investigate interrelationship between P-wave velocity and density using Gardner equation, thus allowing to use sonic logs and VSP velocities to calculate formation density. Studies showed that Gardner coefficients differ much from the average values published in classic paper by Gardner et al. (1974 ). The paper presents modified Gardner equation, refined for productive Carboniferous and Devonian formations of Dnieper-Donets basin.
