Summary
We summarize observations of shear-wave splitting from passive seismic monitoring in a range of petroleum settings. Such measurements are relatively rare, but the emerging picture is one of fracture-induced anisotropy where a number of factors control both spatial and temporal variations. These observations offer insights into the state of stress in a reservoir and can serve as a ground-truth for geomechanical models. ...
