CA 2059343

An apparatus and method for detecting seismic waves traveling in an underground formation. The apparatus includes a hydraulic pressure source, preferably a downhole hydraulic pump; a plurality of small, light-weight, flexibly connected clamping detector units having hydraulically actuated clamps; conduit means connecting the hydraulic pressure source to the detector units so that the detector units may be hydraulically clamped to a wellbore with a large force by activation of the clamps; and means for conditioning signals from the detectors. The small, light-weight detector units are securely clamped to the side of the wellbore because of the high clamping force-to-weight ratio thereby allowing high frequency signals to be detected without interference.
