f C-wave Spectral Broadening to Match P-wavelengths for Improved Fracture/Lithology Characterization

The Marcellus shale has become an active area for gas exploration, and has fracture and lithology characteristics that make it a good candidate for multicomponent data. It is well established that similar vertical wavelength ranges must be preserved in multicomponent data and that wavelengths of P- and S-waves must match in order to sample reflectivity in an equivalent manner.
