ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a nondestructive downhole seismic source capable of generating S.sub.V -waves, S.sub.H -waves, and P-waves alone or in combination to determine information about a surrounding geologic formation. The invention also includes processes of performing crosswell tomography and reverse vertical seismic profiling. The invention also includes a means and process to carry out in hole seismic logging operations.
