Abstract

Borehole seismology allows studying the specific features of the geological structure and physical properties of deposits in the borehole environment using waves of various kinds based on the analysis of characteristics of these waves, their rates propagation, attenuation, space polarization, and the nature of rock anisotropy. The research is intended to study the wave fields of various types of waves taking into account their dynamic, speed and polarization characteristics and the features of geological structure both in the vicinity to the borehole and laterally in the crosshole space. Using the borehole seismology method, the geological structure of reservoirs was specified; a prediction was given as to the development of enhanced reservoir units in the crosshole space.
