2. Marine mammal observer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Mammal_Observer

   As well as the seismic exploration industry, MMOs may also be required during; oil rig decommissioning, where disused oil platforms on the seabed are removed by large amounts of explosives, marine construction projects and; military trials of powerful new active sonar systems. Typically MMO duties are funded by the surveying company.

3. Exploration geophysics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration_geophysics

   Exploration geophysics is an applied branch of geophysics and economic geology, which uses physical methods at the surface of the Earth, such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic, to measure the physical properties of the subsurface, along with the anomalies in those properties.

4. Marine geophysics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_geophysics

   Objectives of marine geophysics include determination of the depth and features of the seafloor, the seismic structure and earthquakes in the ocean basins, the mapping of gravity and magnetic anomalies over the basins and margins, the determination of heat flow through the seafloor, and electrical properties of the ocean crust and Earth's mantle.

5. Reflection seismology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_seismology

   Seismic reflection exploration grew out of the seismic refraction exploration method, which was used to find oil associated with salt domes. [2] Ludger Mintrop, a German mine surveyor, devised a mechanical seismograph in 1914 that he successfully used to detect salt domes in Germany. He applied for a German patent in 1919 that was issued in 1926.

6. Petroleum geology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_geology

   Petroleum geology is the study of the origins, occurrence, movement, accumulation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It refers to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons (oil exploration).

7. Geophysical survey - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysical_survey

   Seismic methods, such as reflection seismology, seismic refraction, and seismic tomography. This type of survey is carried out to discover the detailed structure of the rock formations beneath the surface of the Earth. Seismoelectrical method; Geodesy and gravity techniques, including gravimetry and gravity gradiometry. This type of survey is ...

8. Society of Exploration Geophysicists - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Exploration...

   The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) is a learned society dedicated to promoting the science and education of exploration geophysics in particular and geophysics in general. The Society fosters the expert and ethical practice of geophysics in the exploration and development of natural resources, in characterizing the near-surface, and ...

9. Hydrocarbon exploration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon_exploration

   Oil exploration expenditures are greatest when crude oil prices are high. Hydrocarbon exploration is a high risk investment and risk assessment is paramount for successful project portfolio management. Exploration risk is a difficult concept and is usually defined by assigning confidence to the presence of the imperative geological factors, as ...
