Abstract: The present disclosure relates to making seismic measurements using a seismic source disposed in a wellbore. One or more seismic sources are provided and carried on a conveyance mechanism. One or more seismic receivers are provided and placed on or near the earth's surface, in the same wellbore as the seismic sources, or in another wellbore. The one or more seismic sources are run into and/or out of the wellbore using a controller or sequencer. The one or more seismic sources are positioned, manually or automatically, at one or more locations in the wellbore, using a set of computer-controlled instructions. Seismic measurements are made at the one or more locations by activating the one or more seismic sources and detecting a seismic source signal using the seismic receivers. The receivers may be carried on a conveyance mechanism and their position controlled, manually or automatically, using the set of computer-controlled instructions.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及使用设置在井眼中的地震源进行地震测量。 一个或多个地震源被提供并运载在输送机构上。 一个或多个地震接收器被提供并放置在地球表面上或附近，在与地震源相同的井筒中或在另一井筒中。 一个或多个地震源使用控制器或定序器进入和/或离开井筒。 使用一组计算机控制的指令，一个或多个地震源被手动地或自动地定位在井眼的一个或多个位置处。 通过激活一个或多个地震源并使用地震接收器检测地震源信号，在一个或多个位置处进行地震测量。 接收器可以使用一组计算机控制的指令来携带在输送机构上并且其位置被手动或自动地控制。
