If you’re reading this you’re probably already an AAPG member, but you also probably get questioned from time to time about why anyone should want or need to join AAPG. I know at least one geologist whose attitude is, “I can get everything I need from AAPG through the library or through my company. Why should I join?”

Vertical seismic profiling (VSP) is a measurement procedure in which a seismic sensor is lowered to a sequence of selected depths in a well by wireline, and at each of the downhole receiver stations that sensor then records the downgoing and upgoing seismic wavefields produced by a surface-positioned source.
