Detection and Characterization of Fractures from Generation of Tube Waves

Field testing has been conducted to evaluate a model which predicts the permeability and orientation of a permeable zone, in a deep water well in crystalline rock. Tube waves are generated by seismic P-waves incident on a fracture intersecting the borehole, a process observed in vertical seismic...
