VSP Borehole Seismic Acquisition and Processing Leaders

Dedicated expertise from planning, through to acquisition, processing and product delivery makes READ stand out amongst the crowd of Vertical Seismic Profilers (VSP).

Detailed planning of VSP surveys is the foundation of a successful project. Highly qualified geophysical staff with years of experience in planning VSP surveys is complimented by the most powerful 3D wavefront ray tracer available. We will optimise the survey geometry to enhance final results. A critical first step in VSP surveying.

Multilevel geophone arrays, custom seismic sources including shear wave sources and specialty slim or high temperature tools gives us an edge in data acquisition. Our international team of seismic engineers are specialists and do not acquire other logs, focusing on getting the VSP acquired in the manner in which it was planned and delivering the highest quality data to our processing teams .

Our proprietary VSP data processing package, SPRINTTM, maintains it's position as the highest ranking VSP imaging package proven through industry benchmarks. At the hands of a highly qualified and skilled team it is easy to see why we achieve best-in-class VSP images time after time. Whether the input data is acquired by READ or by a competing company, our data processing toolkit is second to none. From basic checkshot through to 9-C and 3D VSP, fast turnaround with quality results characterises our VSP processing services.
