1. A method for predicting an anisotropic electrical property of a subsurface region from seismic and well data, wherein the term well data can include well logs or core analyses or both from at least one well in the subsurface region, comprising the following steps: (a) choosing a mathematical form of a rock physics model relating both elastic and electrical properties to rock properties of the subsurface region, and able to predict anisotropic behavior in a subsurface region being modeled; (b) calibrating the model by using well data from one or more wells; and (c) using the model and location dependent rock properties obtained from inverting seismic data to predict values of an electrical property at a plurality of locations away from the one or more wells in the subsurface region.
