New technologies in exploration geophysics
This book examines the latest technologies used in reflection seismology. It begins with a brief introduction to the science of geophysics and how it is applied to oil and gas exploration. The book then provides a general overview of new data collection methods, processing developments, interactive interpretation techniques, and how universities are providing tomorrow's explorationists with hands-on training. Contents are: trends in multi-channel seismic recording systems; three-dimensional seismic techniques; vector computers in seismic data processing; seismic modeling techniques; computer graphics for display of geophysical data; true three-dimensional display devices; interactive interpretation techniques in seismology; and satellite transmission and data base management.
