WISE-CASING: Surface Seismic Survey at Cymric Field, California Central Valley

Published by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-01-27T22:39:23Z
This test was conducted at the Chevron Cymric oilfield in the California central valley near Bakersfield. A reflected seismic signal was observed in all three components (x, y, z) of the 3-component Episensor geophone, as well as all phones on the single component array. The arrival time of the reflected seismic signal matches calculations based on a reasonable velocity model (~650 m/s). The seismic data has three channels that are from the 3-C Broadband Episensor, then from 4th -- 12th channels has no data. Channel 13 -- 25 are surface single change vertical geophones. The source of this seismic survey is weight drop. More info could be found from the data header and the attached PPT file.
