Abstract
Gas hydrate exploration with 3D VSP technology North Slope Alaska Donn McGuire* Anadarko Petroleum Corp Steve Runyon and Tom Williams Maurer Technology Inc. and Bjorn Paulsson Alex Goertz and Martin Karrenbach Paulsson Geophysical Services Inc. Summary A 3D VSP survey was recorded in February 2004 in conjunction with a continuously cored hydrate exploratory well on the North Slope of Alaska. The purpose of the VSP was to identify and delineate lateral variations in the subsurface within the hydrate stability zone (HSZ) by using high frequency seismic sources arrayed in a 3D surface pattern and high-density 3 component geophones in the
