Numerical simulation of the 3C single well imaging technique

The three-dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method was used to simulate the reflections of the three-component single well imaging. The simulation results proved the efficiency of the SH wave imaging, and also pointed out the potential problems. Besides, unlike the transverse components which were commonly used, the axial component was proven to be prominent in the logging data, thus might ease the filtering process.
