Summary All rock masses are seismically anisotropic, but we generally ignore this in seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. The anisotropy nonetheless does affect data, in ways that limit the effectiveness with which we can use it, as long as we ignore it. This book, produced for use with the 2002 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, helps us to understand why this inconsistency between reality and practice has been so successful in the past and why it will be less successful in the future as we acquire better seismic data.
