Borehole Seismic

Cross‐borehole seismic velocity and high‐frequency electromagnetic (EM) attenuation data were obtained to construct tomographic images of heavy oil sands in a steam‐flood environment. First‐arrival seismic data were used to construct a tomographic color image of a 10 m by 8 m vertical plane between the two boreholes. Two high‐frequency (17 and 15 MHz) EM transmission tomographs were constructed of a 20 m by 8 m vertical plane. The velocity tomograph clearly shows a shale layer with oil sands above it and below it. The EM tomographs show a more complex geology of oil sands with shale inclusions. The deepest EM tomograph shows the upper part of an active steam zone and suggests steam chanelling just below the shale layer. These results show the detailed structure of the entire plane between boreholes and may provide a better means to understand the process for in situ heavy oil recovery in a steam‐flood environment.
