Abstract

Three‐component vertical seismic profiling (3-CVSP) data were acquired and processed to yield separate estimates of the compressional (P)-wave and shear (S)-wave fields. Interval velocities, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (of the P and S waves), are computed from the identified onset times at many seismometer positions along the borehole. The ratio [Formula: see text] is calculated and used to compute the Poisson’s ratio and the ratio of incompressibility to rigidity. In a North Sea well, the variation in these elastic parameters was highly correlated with the variation in stratigraphy. Of particular interest was the ability to indicate pore fluids such as gas or water within a reservoir. Abrupt changes of the calculated parameters can be an indicator of the gas‐water to water transition zone.
