Abstract:
Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to determine anisotropy indicators for subterranean formations are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes computing a first shear slowness value from measured quadrupole waves, computing a second shear slowness value from measured Stoneley waves, and comparing the first and second shear slowness values to determine an anisotropy indicator representative of anisotropy of a subterranean formation.
