Abstract:
Vertical seismic profiling/common depth point (VSP‐CDP) mapping is often preferred to crosswell migration when imaging crosswell seismic reflection data. The principal advantage of VSP‐CDP mapping is that it can be configured as a one‐to‐one operation between data in the acquisition domain and data in the image domain and therefore does not smear coherent noise such as tube waves, guided waves, and converted waves as crosswell migration could. However, unlike crosswell migration, VSP‐CDP mapping cannot collapse diffractions; therefore, the lateral resolution of reflection events suffers. We pr

Abstract:
We experimentally verified that material-averaging techniques can be used for numerically modeling the response of the crosswell electromagnetic (crosswell EM) system in a fractured medium. We have designed a scaled model of the crosswell EM system, and verified that the laboratory data are in good agreement with the simulated response for different cases of fractures present in a host medium. Simulations of realistic scenarios in a hydrocarbon-filled reservoir indicate that the presence of fracture clusters can significantly affect the crosswell EM system response.

This special issue on crosswell methods was constructed in response to the large number of crosswell papers submitted during 1993 and 1994. The editorial staff felt that rather than distributing these papers throughout the year the society would be better served by having an archival volume composed completely of crosswell‐related papers. This was not a publicly solicited issue, and we undoubtedly did not receive some excellent papers that may have been submitted with a public solicitation.

A gas discovery in the Shengping area of the Daqing Oilfield in China was made recently in a large-scale volcanic depositional environment.

Crosswell seismic data were used to augment existing 3D surface seismic, log, and core data. This provided data at five times the resolution of the surface seismic data to bridge the gap in resolution between surface seismic and well data. Cros

Crosswell seismic tomography is used to determine the variation of elastic wave velocity or attenuation between two boreholes and, if possible, boreholes and the surface from which they are drilled.

In this paper we only discuss traveltimes, but the methods are equally applicable to amplitude inversions.

To speed up convergence, the dynamic smoothing operator applies adaptive regularization to the traveltime prediction error function with the help of the model covariance matrix.

As expected, these partial derivatives (or sensitivity functions) are concentrated along, but not confined to, raypaths.

The applicability of crosswell electromagnetic (EM) tomography is limited when the boreholes are steel cased. Steel casing is typically eight orders of magnitude more conductive than the formations around the borehole. Consequently, the high frequency signals which are needed to resolve the formation conductivity distribution in the interwell region cannot be radiated or received by antennas inside the casing. Introduction of small insulating gaps in the casing eliminates these problems by creating ports where signals can exit and enter the casing, making the casing an electric bipole antenna.

Abstract:
We sometimes encounter situations in seismic imaging in which knowing the position of key reflectors between wells would be very useful. In many crosswell data sets, both transmission and reflection traveltimes for selected reflectors can be picked. We investigated the possibility that transmission-plus-reflection crosswell traveltime tomography can determine the position of these reflectors with a high level of accuracy, thereby providing an independent way of verifying (and perhaps improving) the position of these reflectors obtained from crosswell reflection imaging. We studied the effect o

Abstract:
Time-lapse crosswell seismic provides an efficient way to monitor the migration of a [Formula: see text] plume or its leakage after [Formula: see text] injection into a geologic formation. Recently, crosswell seismic has become a powerful tool for monitoring underground variations, using the concept of a virtual source, with virtual sources positioned at the receivers installed in the well and thus the positions of sources and receivers can be invariant during monitoring. However, time-lapse crosswell seismic using vertical wells and virtual sources has difficulty in describing the front of a

Abstract:
The crosswell electromagnetic (EM) inverse problem is solved with an integral‐equation (IE) formulation using successive Born approximations in the frequency domain. Because the inverse problem is nonlinear, the predicted fields and Green’s functions are continually updated. Updating the fields and Green’s functions relates small changes in the predicted data to small changes in the model parameters through Fréchet kernels. These fields and Green functions are calculated with an efficient 3-D finite‐difference solver. Since the resistivity is invariant along strike, the 3-D fields are integrat

Abstract:
Multiple seismic crosswell surveys have been acquired and analyzed in a fractured basalt aquifer at Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Most of these surveys used a high‐frequency (1000–10,000 Hz) piezoelectric seismic source to obtain P‐wave velocity tomograms. The P‐wave velocities range from less than 3200 m/s to more than 5000 m/s. Additionally, a new type of borehole seismic source was deployed as part of the subsurface characterization program at this contaminated groundwater site. This source, known as an orbital vibrator, allows simultaneous acquisition of P‐ and S
