Would the damage zone be visible on good 3-D seismic data?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: In general we are not able to see any seismic response from or image of the damage zone, although the noise generated along faults may overshadow such signals. Only wide damage zones with deformation structures that strongly alter the velocity structure of the rock may yield a seismic response strong enough that we may hope to see it on (future) high-resolution images.
