A method of creating a seismic wave (40), in a subterranean environment (14), wherein solid propellant material is positioned (18), in a subterranean well (11), and ignited thereby generating a seismic wave. The seismic wave is recorded at distance (9), from where the propellant material is ignited by means of geophones or similar recording devices (16). The propellant material (15), is geometrically configured with the assistance of computer modeling. The pressure generated by the ignition is recorded in the well and used to validate the computer model for configuring subsequent propellant (40), material employed as a seismic source.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de créer une onde sismique (40) dans un environnement souterrain (14). Ce procédé consiste à placer (18) une matière explosive dans un puits souterrain (11) et à l'allumer pour générer une onde sismique. L'onde sismique est enregistrée à l'aide de géophones ou de dispositifs d'enregistrement similaires (16) et ce, à une certaine distance (9) de là où la matière explosive a été allumée. La matière explosive (15) est géométriquement configurée à l'aide d'une modélisation informatique. La pression générée par l'inflammation est enregistrée dans le puits et sert à valider le modèle informatique pour la configuration consécutive de l'explosif (40), matière employée comme source sismique.
