ABSTRACT:
Walkaway vertical seismic profiling is conducted in a body of water. A marine seismic cable is positioned substantially vertically in a body of water. The cable has a number of hydrophones spaced along its length. A seismic source is moved along a line of traverse past the seismic cable and is periodically activated to emit acoustic waves. The response of the hydrophones to reflection of the acoustic waves from subsurface formations is then recorded for processing and analysis.
