Understanding seismic anisotropy in exploration and exploitation / by Leon Thomsen.

The subject of seismic anisotropy has a long history, but only recently has it come to be seen as a central feature of geophysics, as applied to the exploration for hydrocarbons and to their exploitation. The reason for the long neglect of anisotropy is, of course, that isotropy is simpler. The equa...
