GEOREC-A - Vertical Seismic Profile tool

Click to download the datasheet GEOREC-A.pdf

Description

VSP (Vertical Seismic Profile) is the main link between time-based surface seismic imaging and depth/based well logs. It provides a high-resolution image of the structure in the vicinity of the instrumented well. One or several seismic sources on the surface are fired and recorded by the downhole receivers (GEOREC-A) positioned at different depth levels. The downhole receivers allow recording in lower noise conditions as well as recording direct arrivals and recording higher frequencies (->higher resolution) than the equivalent surface tools.  The GEOREC-A is a downhole analog tool designed for seismic acquisition in very high temperature conditions.   Each GEOREC-A single level includes 3 fixed or gimbaled geophones and is provided with its own power supply. Without electronic transmission, the system is simpler and more reliable. Up to 2 GEOREC levels can be successively connected with a 7 conductors standard cable.
