Abstract
The thesis developed and validated an experimental forced-oscillation approach for low-frequency laboratory investigations of the elastic and anelastic properties of the main sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, carbonates and shales. The presented results demonstrate that the forced-oscillation approach is able to adequately quantify elastic and anelastic parameters of sedimentary rocks and can improve the efficiency of the seismic data interpretation and reservoir characterisation.
