Identification and characterization of fractured reservoirs by analysis of shear-wave anisotropy

In this thesis I examine how the shear-waveform changes when it propagates through media with different crack strikes and how this affects our ability to interpret the shear-waveform in terms of rock properties. It is found that the polarization of the leading split shear-wave is dependent on the an...
