Seismic Waves in a Borehole - A Review

The propagation of seismic waves in an open borehole is reviewed. The principal wave types are the refracted P and S waves and the two guided waves - pseudo-Rayleigh and Stoneley. The dispersion properties of the guided waves are analyzed. An efficient method of computing synthetic microseismograms...
