VSP has advantages to detect and monitor the objects around the borehole due to its geometry. Multicomponent VSP can add rich information about the elastic properties of the subsurface near wellbore. However, the elastic wave imaging has been challenging due to the complexities in wave physics. The uncertainties in near surface structure will also affect the image accuracy. In this abstract we utilize the elastic image conditions with scalar wave equations for VSP reverse-time migration (RTM) to image the complex structures. We also provide an alternative way of using the source-free convertedwave (SFCW) RTM imaging for VSP to avoid the complex overburden structures. With multiple numerical examples, the PP, PS and SFCW images demonstrate the ability to image the complex sediment layers around the wellbore. Using both PP and PS image can provide a good interpretation for the complex subsurface but they rely on a relatively correct velocity model. The SFCW image is target oriented and is robust for the complex overburden velocity issue, while it has a lack of illumination for the areas further away from the borehole.
