Abstract
Method and apparatus for generating resonant broad band pressure waves in a fluid-filled wellbore for seismic exploration. In the preferred embodiment, a device is provided in a borehole; the device comprises a cylindrical choke body and a means at each end of the choke body for partially or completely blocking off the borehole and creating a fluid-filled borehole cavity. The fluid inside the cavity is oscillated to establish a standing pressure wave of a desired bandwidth in the fluid. The standing wave is radiated through the wellbore into the earth formation and is received by seismic detectors. The fluid is oscillated over a range of frequencies to generate more information about the earth formation.
