Estimation of azimuthal anisotropy from VSP data using multicomponent S-wave velocity analysis

Observation of azimuthal shear wave anisotropy can be useful for characterization of fractures or stress fields. Shear wave anisotropy is often estimated by measuring splitting of individual shear wave events in vertical seismic profile (VSP) data. However, this method may become unreliable for zero...
