Figure 3. (a)
Vertical slice from a fast-S volume. (b)
Equivalent vertical slice from the companion slow-S volume. A and B are
reflections from fractured carbonate reservoirs. Horizons aa through ff are used
to measure fast-S and slow-S time thicknesses and amplitude attributes across
fractured intervals A and B. SR1 and SR2 define image coordinates where slow-S
reflectivity diminishes but fast-S reflectivity does not. T1 and T2 define
locations where a fractured interval shows an increase in time thickness in
slow-S space that is not observed in fast-S space.
