  "term": "Seismic-while-drilling vertical seismic profile",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A type of vertical seismic profile (VSP) acquired by deploying seismic receivers in a wellbore while the drilling operation is ongoing. The drill bit acts as the seismic source, generating continuous vibrations that are recorded by the downhole geophones. This technique provides real-time velocity and imaging data ahead of the drill bit.",
