Abstract
Methods and systems for determining reservoir parameters of subterranean formations. A tool is configured or designed for deployment at at least one depth in a borehole traversing a subterranean formation. The tool comprises at least one sensor configured or designed for sensing rotational components of a seismic wavefield deployed in an array comprising at least one sensor configured or designed for sensing translational components of a seismic wavefield. A computer is in communication with the tool and a set of instructions executable by the computer that, when executed, process the seismic measurements and derive parameters relating to the formation based on the seismic measurements.
