A vertical seismic profile (VSP) survey can be useful for obtaining subsurface structural information in the immediate vicinity of the borehole. Such information has much higher vertical and horizontal resolution than that of conventional surface seismic data. Ray-tracing techniques allow the interpreter to compare synthetic VSP data from a structural model with the actual VSP field data. Additionally, the vertical seismic profile common-depth-point (VSPCDP) stack procedure effectively determines what the model should be by transforming VSP data into a high-resolution miniseismic section in the vicinity of the boreholes.
