Abstract

The results of acoustic spectroscopy of a carbonate sedimentary rock in the case of saturation degree variations are given. The data on the elasticity and dissipation tensors within a two-octave range are obtained for one and the same sample using one and the same measurement technique. High accuracy of the measurements allowed distinguishing all three saturation stages, namely, condensation, meniscus creation, and pore filling with a fluid. The observed variations are in good agreement with the results of a standard granulometric analysis. The character of variations in the frequency dependence of attenuation coefficients make it possible to make reasonable assumption concerning the mechanisms responsible for acoustic energy absorption in porous materials.
