Abstract

A

The factors affecting the response of a velocity‐sensitive well geophone are discussed and it is shown that the geophone movement in response to a seismic pulse is primarily due to the pressure difference between its ends. Several practical examples are calculated to show that the first arrival waveform recorded by a geophone depends on the distance from an interface and that these changes in recorded waveform may give errors of up to 3 msec in well‐velocity surveys. These errors may be minimised by using pressure geophones or by avoiding measurements at geological interfaces.
