Abstract


The main use of vertical seismic profiling (VSP), which provides velocity information and high-frequency images, has been mostly restricted to post drill analysis. However, with the increase in uncertainties while drilling, the application of VSP as a predrill and syn-drill tool is increasing significantly. The corresponding added values of safety, capital, and time, especially in virgin, unexplored fields
