vertical seismic profiling vsp
DESCRIPTION
Vertical seismic profiling (VSP) is a measurement where the seismic source is still at the surface but the receivers are lowered down into a boreholeTRANSCRIPT

It is a measurement where the seismic source is still at the surface but the receivers are lowereddown into a borehole.

VSP Parameters
• About 50 to 100 feet between geophones.• Can be adjusted for non-zero offset VSP.• Usually a mechanical source so that it can be
repeated and the data “stacked” (summed).

WHY
![Page 12: Vertical seismic profiling VSP](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081415/557cb508d8b42a9c528b4c6d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Because
• Higher spatial resolution• Give a better image around the borehole• Especially for the salt dome cases • VSP can provide a pre complete image when
surface seismic data fails due to the steepness of the salt boundaries.
• The correlation with the surface seismic to define the actual formation boundaries on the surface seismic
• It can see reflectors below the well-bottom.

VSP Applications
• Velocity estimation. This is usually called a “check-shot survey”.
• Precise correlation of surface seismic data with depth and the well-logs.
• Separation of primary reflections from multiples for guidance in seismic section.
• Calibrate reflectivity coefficients from well log data.• Provide seismic data processing parameters –
velocity, multiple suppression, deconvolution.
