What Does VSP Stand For?
VSP stands for Vertical Seismic Profile
VSP, or Vertical Seismic Profile, is a geophysical method used in seismic exploration to obtain detailed subsurface information. This technique involves the deployment of seismic sensors, or geophones, in boreholes to measure the velocity and amplitude of seismic waves as they travel through various geological layers. By analyzing the recorded data, geophysicists can create a high-resolution image of the subsurface structure, facilitating improved reservoir characterization and enhanced accuracy in oil and gas exploration operations.
