Abstract: Borehold seismic techniques, including the vertical seismic profile (VSP) and offset seismic profile (OSP) have been used during the last ten years in petroleum exploration and development settings. Based on the same physical principles as conventional surface seismic methods, the borehole seismic technique can provide greater detail in the immediate area of the borehold. The VSP method can be used with other well logs to make a specific tie between depth, seismic response, and geologic/ lithologic information. The offset seismic profile, used with recent data processing innovations, provides a good image of the seismic response away from the well bore. Gas storage applications can be derived from what has been done with borehole seismic in petroleum exploration and development. Since the technique provides information about the structure or geometry of the reservoir, and in some cases the stratigraphy or porosity extent, applications to gas storage problems are possible. A review of VSP data from exploration and development wells illustrates the application to reservoir description.
