Reflection seismology was first applied to hydrocarbon exploration in the 1920s and today is an integral part of oil and gas business. As technology evolves, more information is derived from seismic and used in many interpretation modes. Interpreter demands are also becoming greater as more data of higher quality is available for incorporation into integrated interpretation. Part 1 of this article describes the planning involved for seismic surveys, along with current methods and equipment used for acquisition, processing, display and interpretation of seismic data. Major points covered include: interpretation objectives; seismic acquisition, processing and display; structural interpretation organization and procedure.
