This patent describes a method for binning, moveout correcting and stacking vertical seismic profile data for a dipping media. It comprises: receiving vertical seismic profile data from an acoustic pulse receiver located in a borehole beneath the earth's surface and horizontally offset from any acoustic pulse generator on the surface causing acoustic pulses reflected from the dipping media to be received by the acoustic pulse receiver or receiving vertical seismic profile data from acoustic pulse receivers located on the earth's surface horizontally offset from a borehole containing an acoustic pulse generator causing acoustic pulses reflected by the dipping media to be received by the acoustic pulse receivers located on the earth's surface; and selecting zero source-receiver, common reflection point bins for the received vertical seismic profile data according to the bin range criteria presented.
