Estimation of Azimuthal anisotropy from VSP data using multicomponent velocity analysis

Observation of azimuthal shear wave anisotropy can be useful for characterisation of fractures or stress field. Shear wave anisotropy is often estimated by measuring splitting of individual shear-wave events on VSP data; however this method may become unreliable for zero-offset (marine) VSP where th...
