Recent studies of continuous acoustic velocity logs indicate that these logs may provide important assistance in differentiating gas, oil, and water saturations in reservoir rocks. In general, velocities are appreciably lower in sands carrying oil or gas than in water‐saturated sands of otherwise similar character. Specific examples from field logs illustrate this application. Laboratory measurements have been made of acoustic velocity of synthetic and natural rocks. Published studies, both empirical and theoretical, of other workers concerned with the transmission of sound in porous media have been considered. All of these at least qualitatively confirm the conclusions drawn from field data.

The development of rock acoustic models is important for interpreting seismic data. These models should relate seismic properties such as wave velocity and attenuation to the production and lithological properties of reservoir rocks, such as porosity, permeability, fluid type, and fluid saturation.

Part one of this paper presents a method for measuring seismic velocities and transverse isotropy in rocks using a single core plug. This method saves at least two‐thirds of the time for preparing core samples and measuring velocities in transversely isotropic (TI) rocks. Using this method, we have measured velocity and anisotropy of many shale and reservoir rocks from oil and gas fields around the world. We present some of the data in this paper, which include seismic velocity and anisotropy in 17 brine‐saturated shale samples, 1 gas‐ and brine‐saturated coal sample, 8 brine‐saturated sands, 12 gas‐saturated sands, 32 gas‐saturated carbonate samples, and 25 brine‐saturated carbonate samples. The results show that clays and fine layering in sedimentary rocks are the main causes of seismic anisotropy. Very little intrinsic anisotropy exists in unfractured reservoir rocks such as sands, sandstones, and carbonates under reservoir conditions. In contrast, all shales were found seismically anisotropic: anisotropy ranges from 6% to 33% for P‐waves and from 2% to 55% for S‐waves. The magnitude of shale anisotropy seems to decrease exponentially with increasing porosity. At present, the magnitude of shale anisotropy cannot be predicted accurately from other data without laboratory measurements. This paper also presents some best practices for laboratory measurements of shale velocity and anisotropy.

Regulation of the financial services authority (OJK) No. 31/POJK.05/2016 on Venture had arranged that the financial services agency on the basis of the law of pledge is in coaching and supervision OJK. Yet the existence of laws – invitation to Governing Enterprise pawn shops causing business activities conducted by the above parties are not yet regulated. The condition is feared could cause harm to the consumer society. The purpose of this research is to know the procedures, mechanisms, protection of goods and guarantee the consumer on an informal pledge financing, methods of determination of the cost of maintenance of the goods and the goods of the execution mechanism of the pledge as well as protection for the collateral items are viewed from the side of the consumer by looking at laws-invitations and Sharia. To find out whether the pledge have gotten permission from OJK. This research uses qualitative research methods with the study of library research, field data and simulations. The approach used in this study is the empirical juridical approach. Elaboration upon the results is discussed further in this article.

The complete elastic constants tensor of monoclinic potassium cobalticyanide [K3Co(CN)6] has been determined from measured ultrasonic phase velocities. These were obtained as a function of direction in several crystal planes by measuring the acoustic energy reflection coefficient at a liquid–solid interface as a function of angle and plane of incidence. The measurements were made at 27.6 MHz in p-xylene at 21.5 °C. The elastic constants were determined using an existing perturbation method. Velocities calculated from the derived elastic constants are in agreement with the measured velocities to within experimental error and the approximations in the perturbation calculation. The usefulness of this method for the determination of the elastic constants of low symmetry crystals is thus established. The Debye temperature of K3Co(CN)6 is estimated from the results to be 290 ± 10 °K with a corresponding mean acoustic velocity of 2560 ± 80 m/s.
