Popis:	Cross-property relations are useful when some rock properties can be measured more easily than other properties. Relations between electrical conductivity and seismic velocity, stiffness moduli, and density can be obtained by expressing the porosity in terms of those properties. There are many possible ways to combine the constitutive equations to obtain a relation, each one representing a given type of rock. The relations depend on the assumptions to obtain the constitutive equations. In the electromagnetic case, the equations involve Archie’s law and its modifications for a conducting frame, the Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) bounds, and the self-similar and complex refraction-index method (CRIM) models. In the elastic case, the stress-strain relations are mainly based on the time-average equation, the HS bounds, and the Gassmann equation. Also, expressions for dry rocks and for anisotropic media, using Backus averaging, are analyzed. The relations are applied to a shale saturated with brine (overburden) and to a sandstone saturated with oil (reservoir). Tests with sections of a North Sea well log show that the best fit is given by the relation between the Gassmann velocity and the CRIM, self-similar, and Archie models for the conductivity.
