ABSTRACT:
A seismic source and seismic detector are placed within a wellbore, and are secured in generally fixed relation within the wellbore. Multiple sources can be utilized, or multiple detectors may be utilized, within a single wellbore. Also, additional sources or detectors may be placed in adjacent wells. The source may be periodically actuated to obtain seismic data, and subsequent actuation may be directly compared with prior actuations to evaluate reservoir characteristics.
