Shear to compressional slowness ratio from first picks (SCRD)
This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. You might have encountered this acronym SCRD in your log evaluation software or any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The abreviatin stands for 'Shear to compressional slowness ratio from first picks'. The usage of this log is well established. This log displays readings of the ratio of velocity of Shear wave (Vs) to that of Compressional wave (Vp).
Data for this log is produced by a tool that uses a acoustic logging technique and can be used to investigate the velocity of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
