Determination of seismic wave attenuation based on acoustic full waveforms

The loss of elastic energy to the medium can be quantified by the quality factor Q. Acoustic full waveforms log from Winna Góra1 borehole were used to estimate P-wave quality factor. Data used in this paper were analyzed with usage of GeoWin software. Interpretation of acoustic full waveforms was pe...
