Figure 1
A maximum and minimum direction
of seismic anisotropy are used to estimate
fracture orientation and intensity. The geophysical model assumes a set
of vertical
fractures with constant strike orientation. In this figure the velocity
is slowed by
crossing the fractures so that the maximum velocity is parallel to the
fracture strike.
