  "term": "Walkaway vertical seismic profile (VSP)",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A type of seismic survey where a seismic source is moved to progressively greater offsets along a line on the surface while receivers remain at a fixed depth in a wellbore. The recorded data from this walkaway Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP) are used to create a high-resolution 2D seismic image of the subsurface away from the well. This method provides better imaging of dipping beds and faults than a zero-offset VSP.",
