Abstract:
Several operations enhance our ability to predict the subsurface below the bottom total depth (TD) of the well when applied to zero‐offset vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data. Other key issues regarding the use of VSP data in this fashion are resolution and look‐ahead distance. An impedance log is the most useful form for presenting VSP data to look ahead of the drill bit. The VSP composite trace must first tie reliably to the surface seismic section and to the well log synthetic seismogram. The impedance log is obtained by inverting this VSP composite trace. However, before performing the inversion, we need to (1) correct the composite trace for attenuation effects below TD and (2) input velocities to provide low‐frequency information. An exponential gain function applied to the VSP data below TD adequately compensates for the loss of amplitude caused by attenuation. A calibration of the seismically derived velocities with VSP velocities yields the necessary low‐frequency information. These concepts are illustrated using a field data set and its subset truncated above TD. The output of these operations on the VSP data are compared to well log data. The question of resolution with these data was determined with a model VSP data set based on the well log data. The investigations indicate that the resolution attainable from look‐ahead data is on the order of 50–75 ft (15–23 m). This is one‐quarter seismic wavelength for the frequencies present in these data. In addition, the maximum look‐ahead distance for these data is shown to be easily 2000 ft (600) m and, perhaps, 4000 ft (1200 m5). By way of illustration, the techniques described and investigated 6were applied to an offshore VSP data set to yield an impedance log. After calibrating this curve with the well log data, the base of the target sand was correctly identified below TD. This prediction successfully yielded the thickness of the sand. Individual zones within the sand unit were identified with less confidence.

Abstract:
We describe a technique for performing optimal, least‐squares deconvolution of vertical seismic profile (VSP) data. The method is a two‐step process that involves (1) estimating the source signature and (2) applying a least‐squares optimum deconvolution operator that minimizes the noise not coherent with the source signature estimate. The optimum inverse problem, formulated in the frequency domain, gives as a solution an operator that can be interpreted as a simple inverse to the estimated aligned signature multiplied by semblance across the array. An application to a zero‐offset VSP acquired with a dynamite source shows the effectiveness of the operator in attaining the two conflicting goals of adaptively spiking the effective source signature and minimizing the noise. Signature design for seismic surveys could benefit from observing that the optimum deconvolution operator gives a flat signal spectrum if and only if the seismic source has the same amplitude spectrum as the noise.

Abstract:
Numerical simulations of vertical seismic profiles in flat‐layered elastic media using the discrete wavenumber method are presented. The effect of source‐borehole sep‐ aration on recorded wave types and amplitudes is studied. For nonzero source offsets, transverse and converted waves become very important and can be more energetic than the direct compressional arrivals. A systematic comparison of results from acoustic and elastic simulations shows that the acoustic approximation is quite valid for a zero source offset but becomes inadequate when the configuration of the source and vertical geo‐ phone array is two‐dimensional. Recording of both pressure and displacement allows a simple separation of transverse and compressional arrivals as long as the effect of the borehole on the incoming waves can be neglected.

Abstract:
Vertical seismic profile (VSP) data may be partitioned in a variety of ways by application of wave‐field transformations. These transformations provide insights into the nature of the data and aid in the design of processing operations. Transformations are implemented in a reversible sequence that takes the observed VSP data from the depth‐time (z-t) domain through the slowness‐time intercept (p-τ) domain (by a slant stack), to the slowness‐frequency (p-ω) domain (by a 1-D Fourier transform over τ), to the wavenumber‐frequency (k-ω) domain (by resampling using the Fourier central‐slice theorem), and finally back to the z-t domain (by an inverse 2-D Fourier transform). Multidimensional wave‐field transformations, combined with k-ω, p-ω, and p-τ filtering, can be applied to wave‐field resampling, interpolation, and extrapolation; separation of P-waves and S-waves; separation of upgoing and downgoing waves; and wave‐field decomposition for isolation, identification, and analysis of arrivals.

Abstract:
I present an application of iterative modeling to the inversion of vertical seismic profiles (VSPs). This method is derived from linear inversion which allows the extraction from VSP data of an impedance profile as a function of time and thus permits the prediction of impedance ahead of the drill bit. There are two steps in this process: first, detection of the major events on the seismogram which is achieved by a recursive detection algorithm; and second, an optimal estimate of the impedances carried out by a gradient algorithm. Seismic data are band‐limited, and consequently the solution of the inversion is nonunique. This nonuniqueness is handled by assuming a piecewise‐constant or blocked impedance model and by adding a priori constraints. Some synthetic examples are used to illustrate the method, and a field example shows a comparison between an impedance profile extracted from VSP data with this inversion method and an impedance profile from well logging data. In this example the accurate prediction of impedance values illustrates the usefulness of the method.

Abstract:
P-wave and S-wave displacements occur at high angles of incidence in vertical seismic profiles (VSPs). Therefore, the coupling of a geophone sonde to the borehole wall must be rigid in all directions. A sonde that is well coupled should have no resonant frequency within the seismic band and should provide geophone outputs that accurately represent the earth’s ground motion. An in‐situ coupling response experiment conducted under normal VSP field conditions provides a measure of the sonde‐to‐borehole wall coupling. The sonde is locked in the borehole and a surface source is excited at different offsets and azimuths. An analysis of the P-wave direct arrivals enhances damped oscillations that represent an estimate of the coupling impulse response. This response is characterized by the viscoelastic behavior of a Kelvin model related to the complex compliance [Formula: see text], where κ is the elastic spring constant, η is the damping constant, and ω is the angular frequency. The complex modulus κ−iωη is proportional to the contact width of the sonde with the borehole wall. Increasing the width by a factor of 4.5 causes a similar increase in κ−iωη where the resonant frequency and initial amplitude of the coupling impulse response increase by a factor of two. Also, the initial amplitude of the coupling impulse response appears to be inversely proportional to the locking force of the sonde. For a constant contact width, increasing the locking force by a factor of 1.37 decreases the amplitude of the response by 3.5 dB.

Full text
Abstract:
Vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) are, by definition, recordings of seismic signals (total upgoing and downgoing seismic wave fields) at different depth points, usually at equally spaced intervals [Formula: see text], i = 1, 2, …, I. In a nonnormal incidence (NNI) elastic model, where each layer is described by thickness, density, and P- and S-wave velocities, the mapping between time and depth needed to generate synthetic VSPs is not usually straightforward. In this paper we develop a relatively simple procedure for generating synthetic vertical and horizontal direction plane wave NNI VSPs. No spatial discretization is necessary. We (1) compute two surface seismograms, one vertical and the other horizontal, exactly as described in Aminzadeh and Mendel (1982); and (2) downward continue the surface seismograms to fixed VSP depth points. This paper demonstrates an algorithm for downward continuation of an elastic wave field using state‐space representation and gives simulations which illustrate both z- and x-direction primaries and complete VSPs for different geologic models and different incident angles.

Abstract:
The petroleum exploration industry uses S‐wave vertical seismic profiling (VSP) to determine S‐wave velocities from downgoing direct arrivals, and S‐wave reflectivities from upgoing waves. Seismic models for quantitative calibration of amplitude variation with offset (AVO) data require S‐wave velocity profiles (Castagna et al., 1993). Vertical summations (Hardage, 1983) of the upgoing waves produce S‐wave composite traces and enable interpretation of S‐wave seismic profile sections. In the simplest application of amplitude anomalies, the coincidence of high amplitude P‐wave reflectivity and low amplitude S‐wave reflectivity is potentially a direct indicator of the presence of natural gas.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 147-152).
This thesis presents imaging results from a 3D reverse vertical seismic profile (RVSP) dataset measured at a hydrocarbon bearing pinnacle reef in northern Michigan. The study presented many challenges in seismic data processing and imaging, as the survey geometry was unique in several ways. Reverse VSP, which uses seismic sources in a borehole and receivers on the earth's surface, is fairly rare. RVSP in 3D with a random distribution of surface geophones is unprecedented. At the time this data was collected, no commercially available processing tools existed to address this geometry, so a processing scheme had to be developed. The data processing sequence presented in this thesis, which includes amplitude corrections, first break picking, deconvolution, wavefield separation, and application of statics, takes advantage of the repeatible signature of the new downhole source (Paulsson et al., 1998). Since the data can be handled in common-receiver gathers instead of the usual common-source gathers, it can be treated like several single offset VSPs during the processing sequence. Issues related to the 3D geometry and the random distribution of the receiver array need not be addressed until the imaging step. The generalized Radon transform (GRT) migration method of Miller et al. (1987) provides a high resolution image of a portion of the target reef at 4600 feet (1400 meters) depth. The high resolution of the image is largely due to the downhole source, which generated a high powered signal at frequencies up to several hundred Hertz. Another factor in the high resolution of the image is the success of receiver consistent model-based Wiener deconvolution (Haldorsen et al., 1994), possible because the source signature was repeatable. Due to adverse conditions and power system failure, a large portion of the surface array did not record data.
(cont.) The reduced spatial coverage limits the extent of the migrated image, precluding an evaluation of the effectiveness of the random receiver spread. The limited nature of the receiver array also caused artifacts resembling migration smiles in the image. These artifacts are partially suppressed by limiting the aperture of the migration, but this also removes dipping reflectors from the image. To maximize the imaging capibilities of the data, a second approach complimenting the GRT method is developed. This approach, termed vector image isochron (VII) migration, removes array artifacts from the image without losing energy from dipping reflectors. This allows artifacts in the conventional image to be identified, aiding interpretation of the GRT images. VII images also show more even illumination than conventional images, although an effect similar to NMO stretching reduces the resolution of the VII image as compared to the GRT image. The VII scheme is an extension of the GRT migration process of Miller et al. (1987), but involves forming an image which depends on the imaged plane orientation, transforming the image based on the array geometry, then finishing the GRT summation over plane orientations. The VII imaging method is derived in both 2D and 3D with the assumption that the ray paths are straight and that at least one of the arrays, source or receiver, is horizontally oriented. The surface array can have any distribution, regular or random. The other array can have any orientation in general, although this thesis assumes that it will be either another surface array or a vertically oriented borehole array. ...

Abstract:
The integrated processing and interpretation of VSP data are developed to work together in order to enhance the final VSP interpretation. Furthermore, the interpretive processing of the VSP data within the case histories are reviewed along with the incorporation of the final VSP results (both near and far offset data) into the integrated geological/geophysical interpretations presented in the case studies. This thesis has attempted to personify the term "interpreter/processor" as first highlighted in Hardage (1985). The case histories pertain to oil and gas exploration in carbonate reef and sandstones in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). The Lanaway case history (Hinds et al., 1994a) pertains to the exploration of the Lanaway/Garrington oil field located in central Alberta, Canada. The surface seismic interpretation over the reef crest differed dramatically from the isopach of the reef-encasing shales derived from the geological logs of a borehole drilled into the reef crest. To understand the discrepancy, a VSP survey was performed and the data were interpretatively processed. The results were integrated with the known geology of the field area to uncover possible reasons for the surface seismic anomaly. field in central Alberta, Canada, using the far offset VSP survey. Existing surface seismic was used to infer that a well drilled into the interpreted North-east corner of the Ricinus reef would be successful in penetrating oil bearing carbonate reef. The well was drilled; however, the well missed the reef and a near and far offset VSP survey was used to seismically image possible reef buildups in an area around the well. The Fort St. John Graben case history (Hinds et al., 1991a; Hinds et al., 1993a) highlights exploration of a gas-filled channel sandstone using near and far offset (lateral) VSP surveys. An exploration well was drilled within the study area which intersected the target zone sandstone (the basal Kiskatinaw of the Upper Carboniferous). The target sandstone had a high shale content and was not reservoir quality. A near offset and two far offset VSP surveys were run in the exploration well to image out to a distance of 350 m to the North¬west and to the East of the well. The VSP, surface seismic and geology results (from the geological logs of the exploration and surrounding wells) are integrated to infer a clearer picture of the sand/shale relationships of the basal Kiskatinaw and detailed faulting of• the Carboniferous strata around the well and within the surface seismic line area. The Simonette field case history (Hinds et al., 1991 b; Hinds et al., 1993b) involves using VSP results to image the slope of a low-relief carbonate reef. The low-relief reef examined using the VSP data is located at the extreme end of a North-east reef spur of the Simonette Reef located in North-west Alberta, Canada. An exploration well drilled in the low-relief reef penetrated the edge of the reef. The VSP surveys were run in order to infer details of the reef slope. The interpretation of the VSP data was integrated with all other exploration data to infer the location of the crest of the low-relief reef and to assist in determining whether to whipstock the exploration well or not.

Abstract:
This thesis considers anisotropy of seismic wave propagation at two oil fields in the North Caucasus region of Russia. In both oil fields, the reservoir zone displays a strong lateral variation in productivity which is thought to be caused by variations in fracture intensity. Such fractures may cause azimuthal anisotropy which can be detected in Vertical Seismic Profiles (VSPs) and Walkaway VSPs. The main aim of the thesis is to characterise this azimuthal anisotropy at three of the oil wells in these fields and to compare this anisotropy with productivity. At each of the three wells, I determine azimuthal anisotropy from VSPs by the application of techniques for estimating shear-wave splitting. I find that the polarisation direction of the fast shear-wave at all three wells is aligned approximately NNE-SSW. At two of the wells, forward modelling shows that the shear-wave splitting parameters in the top 1km can be closely matched by a model containing aligned, vertical fractures, striking NNE-SSW, in approximately the top 1 km. I am unable to resolve the anisotropy of the reservoir zone at these two wells. At the third well, strong azimuthal anisotropy of the reservoir zone is indicated by a large decrease of time delay between shear-waves propagating along vertical raypaths. This decrease is interpreted as an orthogonal rotation of the fast shear-wave polarisation direction at a depth just above the reservoir zone. Using forward modelling, I successfully match these observations with three different fractured reservoir models: the first model contains vertical fractures striking orthogonal to the presumed maximum horizontal stress direction; the second model has dipping fractures striking parallel to the maximum horizontal stress direction; and the third model has a distribution of fractures with a high internal pore-fluid pressure. Consideration of only vertical raypaths through the reservoir cannot discriminate between these models. However, modelling of non-vertical propagation from far-offset VSPs suggests that the dipping fracture model is the better model, although the lack of observations above the reservoir at this well means that other interpretations cannot be excluded.

Abstract:
Main purpose of this paper is to study the influence of vertical stress on soil liquefaction in urban areas. The literature provides limited information on vertical stress analysis of multiple footings, and, as a result, there is no accurate way to account for the effect of the foundation depth on liquefaction. Additionally, practical methods do not exist for considering the interaction between the neighboring foundations vertical stress and seismic forces in the urban area. Vertical stress distribution was calculated in examining the soil liquefaction potential exhibited by building foundations as a case study. The vertical stresses were chosen randomly for some buildings with foundation depths of 3.00 m; 4.50 and 6.00 m at the Burkent site (Burdur-Turkey). The influence of 5-storey buildings on the liquefaction potential of sandy soils was evaluated in terms of the safety factor (FS) against liquefaction along soil profile depths for different earthquakes. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) results were used based on simplified empirical procedure.
