Advantages of Shear Wave Seismic in Morrow Sandstone Detection

Figure 18

The above sections are (a) P-wave stack and (b) S1-wave stack along an inline passing through the well used for modeling study. The Morrow A sandstone peak interferes with the side lobe of shale to give a peak doublet in P-wave stack. The S1-wave stack has a distinct Morrow A sandstone peak response. The S1-wave stack also shows some high amplitude sand layers below Morrow A which are not clearly evident in P-wave stack.
