Vertical seismic profiling is one of the rapidly developing areas of geophysical technology for exploring in mature basins. The measurement basically involves recording the total upgoing and downgoing seismic wave fields propagating through a stratigraphic section by means of geophones clamped to the wall of a drilled well.
