A business case for borehole geophysics: When surveys go from science projects to value builders, the prize will be in reach

摘要

In the world of borehole geophysics, Brian Hornby claims to be both the biggest champion and die biggest skeptic. After all, this type of technology is not meant to be used for exploration geophysics but rather as a calibration tool for surface seismic in complex environments. When the resulting data fail to provide additional information, the exercise quickly becomes one of futility.
