Method of processing converted mode seismic data

OSTI ID:6958659
This patent describes method for processing converted mode seismic data. Compressional and converted compressional to shear wave data is acquired by generating compressional energy into a subsurface formation and recording the amplitude of reflections as a function of time at spaced locations along a line of exploration. A series of compressional to shear wave velocity (Vp/Vs) ratios are selected based on an analysis of the acquired seismic data. The shear wave velocity for each Vp/Vs ratio is determined.
