Hydrocarbon production might cause changes in dynamic reservoir properties. Thus
the consideration of the mechanical stability of a formation under different conditions
of drilling or production is a very important issue, and basic mechanical properties of
the formation should be determined.
There is considerable evidence, gathered from laboratory measurements in the field of
Rock Mechanics, showing a good correlation between intrinsic rock strength and the
dynamic elastic constant determined from sonic-velocity and density measurements.
The values of the mechanical properties determined from log data, such as the
dynamic elastic constants derived from the measurement of the elastic wave velocities
in the material, should be more accurate t
