Question 1: Estimating UCS


a. What is the difference (absolute value) between the value of UCS estimated from
sonic logs and density logs for the Marble Falls Formation at 5095 ft depth in psi?
= 2776 ± 1200

b. What is the difference (absolute value) between the value of UCS estimated from
sonic logs and density logs for the Duffer Formation at 5480 ft depth in psi?
= 6188 ± 1200

c. What is the difference (absolute value) between the value of UCS estimated from
sonic logs and density logs for the Barnett Formation at 5770 ft depth in psi?
= 11063 ± 1200
