Abstract Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) can revolutionize the seismic industry by using fiber-optic cables installed permanently to acquire on-demand vertical seismic profile (VSP) data at fine spatial sampling. With this, DAS can solve some of the issues associated with conventional seismic sensors. Studies have successfully demonstrated the use of …

Figure 4 Vertical seismic profile. The source is at the earth's surface near the borehole. The horizontal axis is the receiver depth. The vertical axis is travel time from zero to one second. Amplitudes are scaled by t 1.5. (ARCO) The multiple reflections are not so severe as with the marine data shown elsewhere in this chapter.
GEOL483.3GEOL882.3 VSP migration and VSP-CMP transform Travel times are mapped into depth via ray tracing; this is similar to "pre-stack" migration. This ray tracing can also transform VSP reflection records in a surface-reflection form (VSP-CMP transform) VSP apertures are limited, and so we need to know the dominant dips or use other constraints
A vertical seismic profile (VSP) survey involves placing sensors in a borehole to record the passage of energy transmitted using a source of seismic energy placed on the surface.
Vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) are small‐scale seismic surveys in which geophones are lowered into a well to record waves traveling both down into the earth (direct waves from the surface source and downgoing multiples) and back toward the surface (primary reflections and upgoing multiples). VSPs thus contain information about the reflection and …
Vertical seismic profiling has been a useful measurement to obtain rock properties (velocity, impedance, attenuation, anisotropy) in depth as well as to provide a seismic image of the subsurface. The VSP can also give insight into seismic wave propagation and provide processing and …

ABSTRACT In 2017, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology was deployed in a horizontal well to conduct a vertical seismic profiling survey before and after each of 78 hydraulic fracturing stages. From two vibroseis source locations at the surface, time shifts of P- and S-waves were observed but decayed over days. Some stages also showed …
Estimating seismic wavelets for deconvolution is always a challenge. Vertical seismic profile (VSP) acquisition directly delivers seismic wavelets at seismic frequencies as measured at reflector depth.
The graphic - the vertical seismic profile - is just a vertical column of 2x2px-colorcoded squares, 1 square per 1 block, next to a ruler (y-axis). Dark colors = solid blocks (stone, dirt), less dark colors = soft solid blocks (gravel, sand), light colors = low-speed liquids (lava), lighter colors = other liquids (water, oil), none = empty ...
seismic data and combines this with the VSP data. Acquisition of a simple zero-offset Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) provides the starting place for validation of these seismic velocities, and hence input into the isotropic 2D velocity model, as well as a well tie that can be used in estimation of anisotropy from a CMP gather at the well location.
ABSTRACT Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is a rapidly developing technology particularly useful for the acquisition of vertical seismic profile (VSP) surveys. DAS data are increasingly used for seismic imaging, but not for estimating rock properties. We have developed a workflow for estimating elastic properties of the subsurface using full …

In geophysics, vertical seismic profile (VSP) is a technique of seismic measurements used for correlation with surface seismic data. The defining characteristic of a VSP (of which there are many types) is that either the energy source, or the detectors (or sometimes both) are in a borehole.In the most common type of VSP, hydrophones, or more often …

Abstract We have acquired and processed 3D vertical seismic profile (VSP) data recorded simultaneously in two wells using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) during the acquisition of the 2012 Mars 4D ocean-bottom seismic survey in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The objectives of the project were to assess the quality of DAS data recorded in …
In the past two decades the cost of developing an oilfield has soared from a few million to a billion or more dollars. Geophysical techniques are being increasingly called upon to aid in planning field development to prevent or at least reduce the number of mispositioned boreholes. Vertical seismic profiling (VSP) is one amongst several new geophysical …

Borehole Vertical seismic profiling (VSP) Basic Concept. Vertical seismic profiling (VSP) is a seismic-reflection method that records seismic arrivals from surface-activated sources with one or more receivers at depth in a borehole. Initially, VSP was primarily used to produce depth-dependent reflectivity images, which can aid in the …

"A vertical seismic profile (VSP) is a measurement in which a seismic signal generated at the surface of the earth is recorded by geophones secured at various depths to the wall of a drilled well" (Hardage, 1983, p. 1).There are, in fact, many types of VSP, and the common bond is the borehole.
