Detecting and Modeling Subsurface Fracture Systems in Geothermal Fields Using Shear-wave Splitting
Shear wave splitting (SWS) is emerging as a useful exploration tool for geothermal fields as it can detect the geometry of the fracture system and the intensity of cracking within the geothermal reservoir. The method is based on the analyses of polarizations and time delays of split shear-waves that...
