Integration of Downhole and Cross-Hole P- and S-Wave Velocity Measurements, Acoustic Televiewer Downhole Imaging, and Surface Seismic Waves for Elastic Moduli Evaluation and Fracture Anisotropy Analysis

One objective of this project is to deduce a 3D prediction for both vertical and horizontal stresses utilizing seismic velocity downhole data and tomographic inversion (backcalculation) of cross-hole travel times. Formal report not published.
