Abstract:
Systems and methods for deploying and using a controlled-frequency downhole seismic source are provided. A downhole seismic source may be placed into a borehole in a geological formation and coupled rigidly to the geological formation via an edge of the borehole. A controlled-frequency seismic signal may be generated sufficient to enable a seismic measurement of the geological formation.
