The determination of the seismic quality factor Q from VSP data acquired using distributed acoustic sensing

The spectral ratio method is the most commonly used approach to estimate the Quality factor (Q) from vertical seismic profile (VSP) data. An assumption behind this method, indeed all Q-estimation methods, is that the ability of the VSP sensor to record data is not affected by depth. Distributed Acou...
