Abstract

A method can include providing compressional and shear-wave slowness data for a homogeneous, anisotropic formation at deviated borehole angles greater than 40 degrees and less than 90 degrees as defined by a vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) symmetry axis; providing a relationship for normal and tangential compliances (e.g., BN and BT); and, based on the data and the relationship, outputting a model for calculating anisotropy parameter values (e.g., α0, ε,.δ) that characterize the homogeneous, anisotropic formation (e.g., along a borehole angle of 90 degrees). Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
