What is Sandstone and Shale Compaction Curves about?

This document describes the development of compaction curves for sandstones, siltstones, and shales in the North Slope region of Alaska using sonic and gamma ray well logs from 19 offshore wells. Compaction curves influence estimates of maximum burial and erosion in basin models. The document discusses how compaction affects thermal gradients and source rock maturation over burial. Methods are described where gamma ray logs are used to determine a sand/shale ratio to calculate porosity from sonic transit ti
