Detection Of Subsurface Fractures And Permeable Zones By The Analysis Of Tube Waves

In Vertical Seismic Profiling tube waves are generated by compressional waves impinging on subsurface fractures or permeable zones. The amplitude of tube waves is dependent upon the formation permeability, the length of the fracture, and on the source frequency. The generation of tube waves is f...
