Figure 8.14: Modelled shear wave splitting in the s<strong>of</strong>ter Weyburn reservoir (a) <strong>and</strong> in the evaporite<br />

caprock (b) after 1 year <strong>of</strong> injection. There is little splitting in the reservoir, but splitting<br />

orientated perpendicular to the injection wells, <strong>and</strong> parallel to production wells, in the caprock.<br />
