Abstract
Seismic observations in boreholes have always served and continue to serve as the main source of information about velocities. In well velocity surveys, the in-line vertical traveltime curve of the first arrival is normally used to determine the velocity. There are several methods of processing this data, which have been extensively discussed in the literature and will not be considered here. We will consider only specific aspects of velocity determinations that are typical of VSP.
