Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) Husni Part 1
Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) Husni Part 1
Most of this material is taken from Borehole Geophysics : Theory and Practice by DR. Ronald C.Hinds and Rick D. Kuzmiski
Introductory comments
Borehole geophysics (like VSP) controls seismic (in depth) contribution in exploration
VSP Defenition
Hardage : A vertical seismic profiling is a measurement procedure in which seismic signal generated at the surface of the earth is recorded by geophone secured at various depths to the wall of a drilled well
VSP Configurations
Near / Zero Offset
Source near wellbore of vertically drilled well
Deviated Borehole
Near offset : source at wellhead Far offset : source over receiver
Walkaway
several offset placed from wellhead to offset ~ depth
