Vertical seismic profiling: Technique, applications, and case histories
Balch and Lee discuss all aspects of VSP in a way that permits it to be easily applied. Case studies on how VSP has been used to solve specific problems show how widely VSP applications can range. The book features a bibliography on VSP. Contents: Part I: The vertical seismic profiling method. 1. Vertical seismic profiles. 2. Two- and three-dimensional considerations. 3. VSP seismic profiling field procedures. 4. Computer processing of vertical seismic profile data. 5. Borehole seismology. Part II: Selected topics in vertical seismic profiling. 6. Case history: detection of Leo sand lenses, Powder River Basin, Wyoming. 7. Case history: detection of Madison limestone porosity, Powder River Basin, Wyoming. 8. Differential vertical seismic profiling: fracture volume analysis. 9. Differential vertical seismic profiling: the hydrofrac. 10. Seismic versus sonic travel times: a vertical seismic profiling study. 11. Vertical seismic profiling in the western U.S. Overthrust Belt.
