Seismic News & Press Releases from the Oil & Gas Industry

Seismic activities are carried out for the oil and gas industry for both onshore and offshore fields. Seismic surveys are vital to the upstream sector as they determine the likelihood of exploration opportunities. A seismic wave is sent into the earth where the potential reserve is located. It reflects on the subsurface formations and returns to surface. Previously only in 2D, recent advancements in technology allows for 3D seismic data and even 4D seismic in some cases. Seismic surveys consist of data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation phases.
