ABSTRACT:
The present invention generally relates to a method of seismic exploration. In particular, a novel method of obtaining a vertical seismic profile of the earth's subterranean formation surrounding a well borehole with a horizontally direct swept frequency vibrator and a multicomponent sonde is provided. Additionally, a method is provided to azimuthally align the geophones of the multicomponent sonde having horizontal axes.
