Abstract
Understanding and modeling the elastic and anisotropic responses of organic shale is crucial for interpreting sonic and seismic data, and hence play a vital role in many fields of Earth and Energy science such as hydrocarbon source rock evaluation, reservoir characterization of unconventional shale plays, cap rock assessment for geological storage of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2023.104627
