Borehole Seismic Survey Market to Expand with Significant CAGR During 2018-2026
Borehole Seismic Survey Market: Overview
Ongoing development has resulted in creating high demand for energy, which is largely met by using fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas have become an important part of the global energy mix and demand for these is increasing as the requirement for energy is rising. High investments are being made for exploration of oil and gas resources. Exploration and production of oil and gas comprises several services such as wellbore services and drilling services. Borehole seismic survey is one such service that is employed for exploration of oil and gas resources.

Borehole Seismic Survey Market: Drivers & Restraints
Borehole seismic survey is one of the most versatile downhole measurement techniques employed in exploration of oil and gas resources. Borehole seismic survey, also known as vertical seismic profile (VSP), results in linking of time-based surface seismic images with depth-based well logs. However, with the advent of technology, borehole seismic surveys have expanded beyond the time–depth correlation, due to development of improved data acquisition tools. They provide important information to exploration and production companies. From this information, these companies derive data about depth, extent, and heterogeneity of reservoirs, pore pressure, mechanical properties of rocks, fluid content, etc. Borehole seismic surveys use body waves, which are emitted by either a point source or frequency sweep sources. These waves consist of primary or compressional P-waves and secondary or shear S-waves. These waves travel from the point of origin to the borehole receiver deployed at depths. Signals recorded by borehole receivers depend on the survey geometry, type of incoming waves, and type of the receiver. The ability of borehole seismic surveys to record direct signals in a low-noise environment is a major advantage that it offers over surface seismic surveys. A majority of borehole seismic surveys use waves from vibrating trucks, air guns, or dynamite sources.
Borehole Seismic Survey Market: Key Segments
Based on type, the global borehole seismic survey market can be segmented into zero-offset VSP, deviated-well VSP, offset VSP, walkaway VSP, and others. Zero-offset VSP has a near-borehole seismic wave source and a borehole seismic receiver array. This method collects wave reflection from a restricted window around the borehole. In deviated-well VSP, the seismic source is always directly above the borehole receiver in a horizontal or deviated well. In offset VSP, the seismic source is placed at a horizontal distance from the well bore producing a 2D image. Walkaway VSPs are somewhat similar to offset VSPs in terms of location of seismic source from wellbore; however, the acquisition geometry is reversed. The others segment comprises borehole seismic surveys such as 3D VSP, crosswell VSP, and reversed VSP.
