Service: 3D VSP

Both 2D and 3D VSPs improve reservoir characterization. High-resolution VSP data can be integrated with surface seismic data to provide detailed descriptions of formation properties and identification of reservoir compartments not possible with surface seismic data alone.
AVO and Anisotropy Modeling and Analysis

  • Surface seismic AVO calibration
  • Anisotropy detection for accurate model building
  • Better understanding of lithology, porosity, pore fluids, and orientation of aligned fractures

Benefits and Applications
Reservoir Delineation

  • Depth prediction of seismic events ahead of and offset from the drill bit

  • Time-depth correlation with surface seismic data

  • Structural imaging

  • Improves reservoir characterization by delineation of faults and pinchouts

3D VSP Imaging, and 3-C, 3D Migration

  • Simultaneous surface and borehole seismic data acquisition reduces operating costs
  • Improved vertical and lateral resolution compared to surface seismic
  • Using a shared VSP calibrated velocity model, the 3D VSP can be integrated with the surface seismic data
  • Volumetric estimates improved by high resolution 3D VSP
  • True 3D migration in time and depth
  • 2D out of plane migration errors solved by 3D migration
