This module teaches the skills necessary for designing velocity check-shot surveys and for interpreting check-shot data. Velocity check-shot surveys are measurements in which a seismic signal generated at the surface of the Earth is recorded by geophones that are secured at various depths to the wall of a drilled well. The direction that geophones are deployed during the data acquisition differs by 90 degrees relative to the lateral geophone placement used when recording seismic reflection data at the Earth's surface. Check-shot interpretation is used to create functions that calibrate stratigraphic depth to seismic image time.
