Abstract:
The context of my thesis/project ‘Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP)’ comprises on several, aspects such as acquisition, processing and interpretation. In which I sequentially discuss the basic concepts of Vertical Seismic Profiling, its historical background and the objectives of my thesis. Then I briefly discuss the basic concepts of seismic fundamentals and its various components, elastic properties of solids, elastic moduli’s, seismic waves, its types, its propagation procedures, reflection, refraction, attenuation of seismic waves and the fundamentals laws of seismic. Then I discuss the acquisition geometries and processing procedures of Vertical Seismic Profiling. Finally, I discuss the 3D VSP as a useful tool for mining^exploration. And at end I gave the conclusion of my thesis project.
