Anisotropic elastic moduli of carbonates and evaporites from the Weyburn‐Midale reservoir and seal rocks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Assuming Vertical Transverse Isotropy (VTI) symmetry the elastic anisotropy as a function of confining pressure of four carbonates and one evaporite from the Williston sedimentary basin in Saskatchewan, Canada is investigated using the ultrasonic pulse transmission method. Ultrasonic P‐ and S‐ wave velocities are obtained from cylindrical plugs cut from a main sample along horizontal, vertical and 45° orientations with respect to the sample's presumed vertical axis of symmetry. The elastic constants were then calculated from the measured velocities and densities. Anisotropy was quantified by estimating Thomsen parameters (Thomsen 1986) from elastic constants. The results show that the samples are at the best weakly anisotropic. The presence of microcracks and pores as well as the heterogeneity of the samples play an important role in defining the P‐ and S‐ wave velocities. The weak anisotropy found in these samples suggests that ‘intrinsic’ properties of these rocks negligibly contribute to the anisotropy observed at the seismic scale.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
