Abstract
The loss of elastic energy to the medium can be quantified by the quality factor Q. Acoustic full waveforms log from Winna Góra1 borehole were used to estimate P-wave quality factor. Data used in this paper were analyzed with usage of GeoWin software. Interpretation of acoustic full waveforms was performed for the one pair of waveforms. The most important part in the interpretation of data is manual picking of P wave arrival, calculation of semblance function, and picking anomalies of P wave on amplitude spectrum. Using data from interpretation of acoustic full waveforms, we calculated quality factor. Based on provided analysis it is concluded that the highest attenuation ( so the lowest Q) is observed in Rotliegend strata.
