![Page 2: 6. Seismic Anisotropy A.Stovas, NTNU 2005. Definition (1) Seismic anisotropy is the dependence of seismic velocity upon angle This definition yields both](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5697bf9f1a28abf838c94ffa/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Definition (1)
• Seismic anisotropy is the dependence of seismic velocity upon angle
• This definition yields both P- and S-waves
![Page 3: 6. Seismic Anisotropy A.Stovas, NTNU 2005. Definition (1) Seismic anisotropy is the dependence of seismic velocity upon angle This definition yields both](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5697bf9f1a28abf838c94ffa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definition (2)
• Saying ”velocity” we mean
• ray veocity and wavefront velocity
• group velocity and phase velocity
• interval velocity and average velocity
• NMO velocity and RMS velocity
![Page 4: 6. Seismic Anisotropy A.Stovas, NTNU 2005. Definition (1) Seismic anisotropy is the dependence of seismic velocity upon angle This definition yields both](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5697bf9f1a28abf838c94ffa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Definition (3)
• We have to distinguish between anisotropy and heterogeneity
• Heterogeneity is the dependence of physical properties upon position
• Heterogeneity on the small scale can appear as seismic anisotropy on the large scale

If we ignore anisotropy in post-stack time migration
Dipping reflectors are mispositioned laterally. Mislocation is a function of:
- magnitude of the average foroverburden - dip of the reflector - thickness of anisotropic overburdenDiffractions are not completely collapsed,
leaving diffraction tails, etc.
