Joint PP and PS wave analysis for lithology and fluid prediction

In recent years, multicomponent seismology has gained wide acceptance in the oil industry as a useful tool for improving both seismic imaging and reservoir characterization. However, the anticipated breakthrough of multicomponent seismic into a mainstream technology is still to be realized. One of the bottlenecks lies in the interpretation and analysis of multicomponent seismic data: there is a still lack of understanding on how to link the multicomponent seismic information to rock properties directly. In this thesis, I intend to tackle this problem through a joint inversion of multicomponent PP and PS-seismic data in order to facilitate direct comparison of seismic information with rock properties.
