Abstract
In seismic delineation of sedimentary section below the surface of a seismic energy propagation medium, a new use for an old article is disclosed. It includes a basic method for generating and shaping a seismic energy pulse comprising (1) generating a first energy pulse downwardly through the shortest distance to a point at the lower end of a vertical straight explosive material for forming a compressional forward portion of the seismic energy pulse, and (2) generating a second energy pulse later to form a rarefactional aft portion of the seismic energy pulse. By varying the length of the explosive material the lengths of the forward and aft portions are varied for controlling the shape of the seismic energy pulse, and by varying the position of the point of ignition of the linear explosive material, additional shaping of the seismic energy pulse results. This new use results in a method which produces a seismic energy pulse of the desired shape, a very thin elongated shape being preferable for attenuation of both the secondary bubble amplitude and time duration.
