    • One or more autonomous devices are deployed in the well to provide a moveable sensor source or obstruction for coupling a tube wave seismic signal into the formation adjacent the well bore. The autonomous devices move in the well and provide moveable obstructions or discontinuities which couple tube waves existing in the well bore or production tubing into the formation adjacent the well bore. Wellbore tube wave energy is converted to body wave energy at minor borehole obstructions or irregularities that become sources of seismic energy. A well bore may contain a plurality of minor obstructions or discontinuities. Each obstruction or discontinuity position along the borehole has an associated unique waveform source coda that may be measured for processing the wavefield radiated into the earth formation surrounding the well bore. A plurality of sensors detects the radiated seismic energy after the seismic energy has transited intervening earth formations. The system may be employed as a permanent monitoring device for mineral resource management so that measurements may be acquired at many different times. A time lapse profile may be created that is representative of the temporal and areal changes in the petrophysical characteristics and mineral content or distribution of the intervening earth formation.
