ABSTRACT:
In vertical seismic profiling (VSP), VSP seismic data is transformed into surface seismic data by mapping segments of the VSP seismic data into surface seismic data time. The transformation results in data which is more easily interpreted with respect to determining subsurface structure because the data is stacked and because the data is in a more conventional form.
