    Borehole Seismic data provides the critical depth and velocity parameters needed to link seismic data with downhole log and well data.

    Borehole seismic tools have evolved from single-component sensors to modern seismic arrays. These moden tools, when combined with the latest technology in seismic source quality, navigational positioning, and computational abilities, can deliver in real time high-resolution borehole seismic images that extend beyond the wellbore or into the interwell volume to reduce risk in drilling and development decisions

    This course provides a review of the latest tools, technologies, and applications of borehole seismic technology. A discussion of survery design and modeling is also included. This will provide an understanding of the applications of Borehole Seismic Data to Exploration, Reservoir Description, and Production.
