Estimating velocity model with multicomponent seismic data

Here the development of a method for processing and interpretation of multicomponent seismic data is presented. The main idea of the proposed algorithm is the representation of the testing area by the grid which can perfectly fit, to real geological properties of subsurface (quasi-planes of a grid correspond to distinguished seismic horizons). The method allows tracing the reflected, refracted and converted waves which originate from pre-determinate horizon using Huygens principle. The observed results for converted waves were interpreted on an improved model after detailed P-wave velocity analysis, images of deep shear-velocity horizons together with P-waves provide an estimate of Poisson ratio which is used as a proxy for porosity
