High resolution downhole-crosshole seismic reflection profiling to resolve detailed coal seam structure

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5945768

A method of seismic surveying is disclosed which provides a horizontal profile of reflector surfaces located between two spaced apart drillholes which profile appears similar to that of a marine type seismic reflection profile. The method comprising raising and lowering a seismic source and receiver in adjacent drillholes to provide a profile of reflectors which are located between the drillholes.
