Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP) Seismic Data
As part of the seismic project around the DFDP-2B well, two high-fold seismic reflection lines were collected in the Whataroa Valley. These lines add to the existing Whataroa98 and WhataDUSIE (2011) surveys.
The 2016 survey used the Aries RAM system and a Vibroseis truck from the University of Calgary.
The parameters of the survey are :
1) 10 m geophone spacing (Line 2000 Stn 1101 – 1412 : Line 4000 stn 3251 – 3368)
2) 10 m Vibroseis source point interval
3) Vibe sweep 16 second with 4 second Listen Period
4) 4 x Sweep 10 – 150 Hz with 100 ms cosine taper
Line 2000 comprises a continuous line from SE to NW, passing west of the well head and continuing across the Alpine Fault surface trace to the NW. Line 4000 comprises a line through the well pad, parallel to the deviated well. There is a gap across the Whataroa river, then the line continues to the north.

- Purpose
-
In January 2016, an active source seismic experiment was conducted around the DFDP-2B borehole, as part of which the optical fibre cable was used to collect acoustic data along the length of the borehole. In addition, a conventional four-level, three-component vertical seismic profile (VSP) string was suspended in the accessible top 400 m of the borehole. Zero-offset and multi-azimuth walkaway VSP surveys were undertaken to image around the borehole and determine the velocity structure and reflectivity characteristics in the hanging-wall of the Alpine Fault.
