A method of calibrating depth of a plurality of seismic receiver channels in a seismic receiver array disposed in a borehole in an earth formation, said method comprising: - selecting a seismic receiver array disposed in a borehole in an earth formation, wherein said seismic receiver array comprises a plurality of seismic receiver channels, whereby each seismic receiver channel is locally coupled to the earth formation that is present adjacent to the seismic receiver channel location; - attributing an assumed depth to each seismic receiver channel in the plurality of seismic receiver channels; - determining a formation-material-dependent response of each seismic receiver channel induced by seismic waves propagating through the earth formation adjacent to each respective seismic receiver channel, wherein the formation-material-dependent response of each seismic receiver channel is determined as a value of signal amplitude; - providing an independent depth log of at least one petrophysical parameter of the earth formation as a function of depth along the borehole; - for a number of the seismic receiver channels, determining a set of lags between said assumed depth and depth in the independent depth log that provides the best correlation between the formation-material-dependent response of the seismic receiver channels and the independent depth log of the at least one petrophysical parameter of the earth formation; and - outputting a set of corrected depths or correction values for the plurality of seismic receiver channels to align the assumed depth of each seismic receiver channel of the plurality of seismic receiver channels with corresponding depths in the independent depth log. - selecting a seismic receiver array disposed in a borehole in an earth formation, wherein said seismic receiver array comprises a plurality of seismic receiver channels, whereby each seismic receiver channel is locally coupled to the earth formation that is present adjacent to the seismic receiver channel location; - attributing an assumed depth to each seismic receiver channel in the plurality of seismic receiver channels; - determining a formation-material-dependent response of each seismic receiver channel induced by seismic waves propagating through the earth formation adjacent to each respective seismic receiver channel, wherein the formation-material-dependent response of each seismic receiver channel is determined as a value of signal amplitude; - providing an independent depth log of at least one petrophysical parameter of the earth formation as a function of depth along the borehole; - for a number of the seismic receiver channels, determining a set of lags between said assumed depth and depth in the independent depth log that provides the best correlation between the formation-material-dependent response of the seismic receiver channels and the independent depth log of the at least one petrophysical parameter of the earth formation; and - outputting a set of corrected depths or correction values for the plurality of seismic receiver channels to align the assumed depth of each seismic receiver channel of the plurality of seismic receiver channels with corresponding depths in the independent depth log.
