N2  - A variety of problems associated with the Vibroseis&#xae; source have been encountered over the past few years which have presented difficulties in tieing surveys using different control systems and in depth mapping.Accurate depth structure mapping and field estimation from seismic data requires good correlation of seismic reflections with stratigraphic boundaries. The information required, a known seismic signal and vertical rock velocities can only be obtained from measurements down the hole.Seismic time to depth correlation can be obtained from an integrated sonic velocity curve tied to conventional well shoot data only if the source is the same as that used for the reflection seismic data or the relation between the well shoot and seismic source is known. It has been apparent for some time that the signal from the Vibroseis source has not been adequately defined from surface measurements.A number of parameters must be monitored to ensure that the signal transmitted during a Vibroseis sweep is properly calibrated. The synchronisation of phase, time duration of the sweep, sweep bandwidth, vibrator drive levels and the phase relation of the pilot sweep to the signal transmitted from the baseplate, contribute to determine the character of the signal seen on a seismic section.&#xae;Trademark of Conoco, Inc.
