A three-component 3D vertical seismic profile (VSP) was acquired over the Blackfoot oil field in Alberta, Canada. The VSP survey was recorded simultaneously with a surface seismic program. The objectives of the VSP were to develop recording logistics, data handling, and processing procedures and to determine if the 3D VSP volumes could image the glauconitic sand reservoir of the Blackfoot field.Dynamite shots from the surface seismic survey, which fell within a 2200-m offset from the recording well, were used in the VSP analysis. The shots were recorded by a string of three-component borehole receivers that was moved seven times, resulting in a receiver depth range of 400 to 910 m. The borehole data were processed using basic VSP processing techniques that included hodogram analysis, wavefield separation using median filters, and VSP deconvolution. The final P-P and P-S image volumes were obtained by VSP common-depth point and VSP common-conversion point stacking the upgoing wavefields followed by f -x y deconvolution. The P-P and P-S images from the VSP correlate well with those from the surface seismic survey. Time slices from the VSP also indicate the trend of the sand channel of the Blackfoot field.

“…Fairborn and Harding, Jr. (1996) show a case in Louisiana of using a downhole vibratory source and a surface spread of receivers to reconstruct a 3-D image of a sinkhole. Farmer et al (1997) indicate that processing of a 3-D VSP survey over the Ekofisk reservoir resulted in a vastly improved image of the chalk reservoir. Clochard et al (1997) show the feasibility of imaging complex structures using a 3-D VSP survey.…”

A simultaneous surface and borehole 3C-3D survey was acquired over the Blackfoot field in southern Alberta. Along with the land surface 3C-3D seismic program covering about 15 sq. km., 3-C VSP measurements were made over depths from 400 to 910m. In this paper, we outline the acquisition and processing considerations involved with the Blackfoot 3C-3D VSP experiment. Final P-wave and converted-wave images from the 3-D VSP tie reasonably well with those from the surface survey. A method was also developed for rapid VSPCDP mapping and results are shown for the VSP data.
