Stress-dependent seismic anisotropy of the overburden shale in an oil field was studied. The dependency of P-wave velocity, a, on pressure has exponential and linear components, which can be contributed to the compliant and stiff porosities. It was found that Thomsen anisotropy parameters  and  decrease exponentially with pressure and possibly reach to the intrinsic anisotropy of the clay minerals at 400 MPa.
