Popis:	Summary Shear-wave anisotropy in the Quaternary and upper Cretaceous section can be significant over heavy-oil reservoirs in Alberta. Compensation for the overburden shear-wave splitting improves the PS data used for reservoir characterization of the deeper targets. We illustrate both the analysis and compensation of splitting for a recently acquired 3-C dataset. The correction is applied using a layer-stripping approach to distinguish overburden effects from possible reservoir-level anisotropy.
