The elastic properties of Canol shales make it difficult to identify them on the PP waves but not on the PS waves. The response for the Middle Canol has a strong shear wave reflectivity that shows as a strong reflection on PS seismic data. This allows the mapping of the thickness of the Canol interval with confidence.
