ABSTRACT:
A method for the design of VSP surveys for the purpose of imaging a reef in the formations surrounding the well in question. The basic steps include:building a geophysical model;defining receiver locations in the well within the model;defining the target (reef);ray tracing from receivers to surface via target;defining source locations on surface based on ray density pattern; andvalidate by ray tracing from source locations to receiver locations via target.
