Advantages of Shear Wave Seismic in Morrow Sandstone Detection

Figure 13

(a) S-wave gather for Model 1a shows a strong peak response at the top of Morrow A sandstone which changes to trough with offset. (b) The S-wave gather for Model 3a shows that even in the presence of overlying shale and bottom limestone layer the Morrow A sandstone shows a distinct high amplitude AVO response.
