A seismic data set measured and recorded with reference to a particular area of the Earth's surface, to evaluate the subsurface.

A technique for establishing the presence of underground geological strata using sound waves. There are two main techniques - reflection or refraction. In the oil and gas industry by far the most comm [..]

The collection of stratigraphic data obtained by sending and receiving shockwaves through rock layers. Reflected and refracted waves are electronically recorded at surface, each reflection signalling [..]

A survey used to gain an understanding of rock formations beneath the earth’s surface.

a technique for determining the detailed structure of the rocks underlying a particular area by passing acoustic shock waves into the strata and detecting and measuring the reflected signals. It is us [..]

A survey used to gain an understanding of rock formations beneath the earth’s surface.

a method by which an image of the earth's subsurface is created through the generation of shockwaves and analysis of their reflection from rock strata

A method of geophysical prospecting using the generation, reflection, refraction, detection, and analysis of elastic waves in the Earth.

The collection of stratigraphic data obtained by creating shockwaves through the rock layers. Reflection of these waves from anomalies within the rock layers are electronically recorded at surface. These recordings are then analysed to produce a stratigraphic representation of the surveyed area, which helps to deduce the structure of the underlying [..]

Generation of artificial and controlled „earthquakes” by a series of micro explosions or vibration, which generate acoustic waves. Sound waves are transported at different speed in different materials and, at the transition between different materials, they partly bend and reflect back to the surface. After processing those signals, it is possible [..]

An exploratory method in which strong low-frequency sound waves are generated on the surface or in the water to find subsurface rock structures that may contain hydrocarbons. The sound waves travel through the layers of the earth's crust, however, at formation boundaries some of the waves are reflected back to the surface where sensitive detec [..]

Works on the principle of the time it takes for reflected sound waves to travel through rock of varying densities. 2D or 3D seismic surveys create virtual images of what a reservoir looks like.

A technique for determining the detailed structure of the rocks underlying a particular area by passing acoustic shock waves into the strata and detecting and measuring the reflected signals.
