Detection of Open Fractures with Vertical Seismic Profiling

In Vertical Seismic Profiling surveys tube waves are generated by compressional waves impinging on subsurface fractures or permeable zones. The problem of generation of these waves by a non-normal incident P wave for an inclined borehole intersecting a tilted parallel wall fracture is formulated the...
