Extracting subsurface lithological information from seismic data has become a great challenge to seismic exploration, as the hypotheses of stratification made by isotropic layers has been insufficient to represent the behavior of elastic field in surveys with great offset between source and receiver, multicomponent geophones, three-dimensional Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) measures and so forth. Due to this reason, a more realistic model of subsurface is demanded. As a result, the seismic prospecting starts to consider the anisotropic models of subsurface to characterize reservoirs, for example. This paper aims at showing formalism to model the scattering of pulses from incident plane waves in horizontal plain interfaces which separate anisotropic media. This scattering is obtained primarily through the explicit formulation of traction and deformation fields as a function of propagator, polarization and impedance matrices of media. After that, this formalism is used to obtain the reflection and transmission coefficients matrices through a horizontal plain interface to be, subsequently generalized to a scattering through multiple layers. Finally, the amplitude of an analytical pulse is inserted in the incident wave to calculate the scattering of the pulse through stratifications.

AVO analysis is an importante tool for extracting lithological information from seismic data using the contrast in acoustic impedance at the lithological boundaries. The isotropic assumption behind this analysis does not hold in many cases. The advent of large offset surveys and multi-component data has revealed the presence of subsurface anisotropy. To interpret such data, the AVO analysis must include anisotropy. This work presents an AVO theory and numerical results for an anisotropic layered medium. This thesis contains three contributions. First, a new approach to the study of reflection-transmission at a plane interface between anisotropic media with a horizontal mirror plane is presented. The Zoeppritz equations are generalized to include anisotropy by the introduction of impedance matrices which greatly simplifies the previous formalisms. Second, the study of the P-wave reflection at an interface between an isotropic and a transversally isotropic medium is described and it is show that the reflected P-wave does not have information about the underlying anisotropic subspace for pre-critical incidence. Finally, the behavior of post-critical reflected and transmitted pulses through a stack of anisotropic layers is discussed. The post-critical pulses are show to carry valuable information on the anisotropy of the structure through which the waves propagate.
