Abstract: A process for preparing vertical seismic profiles (VSP) by bore drilling using, as the seismic source, the vibrations generated by the drilling bit. A cross-correlation between the bit signal and the signals collected by seismic geophone lines, is determined in which the bit signal is processed by arranging a plurality of several types of detectors on the bore drilling facility. A plurality of traces are recorded, in which the signal/noise components have different characteristics. These can be separated by means introducing filter functions by operating either on their Fourier Transforms or on the basis of their statistic distribution.
