Demonstration of high-resolution inverse VSP for reservoir characterization applications
The objective of this project is the demonstration of inverse vertical seismic profiling measurements using new experimental field instrumentation capable of providing at least an order of magnitude improvement in the resolution of structural details in comparison with conventional seismic images. This two-year project will entail instrumentation tests under controlled field conditions during the first year followed by full-scale field demonstration tests in a representative oil-bearing reservoir formation during the second year. In this third quarter, the wax-melt borehole seismic sensor package containing acceleration sensors was designed, constructed, and tested in laboratory and field experiments to evaluate this novel reversible rigid-coupling method. 2 figs.
