ABSTRACT A novel method of geophysical exploration is described for obtaining estimates of formation lithology from measures of formation anisotropy. First and second measures of formation anisotropy can be transformed into estimates of formation lithology by crossplotting them onto a lithology diagram. In one embodiment of the pres- ent invention, the lithology diagram comprises two sepa- rate axes representing measures of formation azimuthal anisotropy and transverse isotropy for a selected forma- tion property which defines regions of separate litholo- gies. The lithology diagram can provide a novel means for discriminating formation lithology from the measures of formation anisotropy.
