The shear wave information has the invaluable role in the seismic data interpretation and ‎‎quantitative ‎studies of the reservoir. However, due to high cost and difficulty in recording S-S ‎‎data, shear wave ‎acquisition is rarely done.‎‏‎ Therefore, finding a way to extract shear wave’s ‎information from typical ‎seismic data (vertical‏ ‏source-vertical single component receiver) can ‎be of great help in improving the ‎seismic interpretations.‎
In this research, we aim to obtain the SS waves traveltimes in common seismic data (vertical ‎source-‎vertical receiver) by using PP and SP seismic waves. Although the seismic image area ‎of the SS is ‎smaller than the seismic image of the PP,‎‏ ‏it can provide reasonable shear wave ‎information.‎
