A wellbore system and method for producing seismic waves in an earth formation. The system comprises a cavity containing fluid. The cavity is in a space between a wellbore tubular, which may be casing or production tubing, and the wellbore formation. A device is provided for generating pressure waves in the cavity at resonance frequencies of the cavity. The pressure waves generate seismic waves that radiate into the adjacent earth formation that may be recorded. The recorded seismic waves may be used to determine parameters of interest of the earth formation.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de forage destinés à générer des ondes sismiques dans une formation terrestre. Le système comprend une cavité contenant un fluide. La cavité se situe dans un espace entre un élément tubulaire du puits de forage, qui peut être un gainage ou un tubage de production, et la formation du puits de forage. Un dispositif sert à générer des ondes de pression dans la cavité selon des fréquences de résonance de la cavité. Les ondes de pression génèrent des ondes sismiques irradiant la formation terrestre adjacente et pouvant être enregistrées. Les ondes sismiques enregistrées peuvent être utilisées pour déterminer des paramètres d'intérêt de la formation terrestre.
