Abstract
Measurements of seismic Q proliferate in the geophysics literature. Laboratory tests on highly confined matrix, large scale in situ estimation of Q from geothermal areas and from earthquake coda, and more recent measurements in and above anisotropic fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs from walkaway VSP using multi-azimuth sources, give an assortment of seismic Q from a multitude of depths and rock types.
