3D seismic

3D seismic is a technique used in oil and gas exploration to create detailed, three-dimensional images of underground rock formations. It involves sending sound waves into the ground through specialized equipment; these waves bounce off different layers beneath the surface. Sensors then record the returning echoes, and advanced computer software processes this data to produce a detailed 3D map. This map helps geologists and engineers visualize where oil or gas might be trapped, enabling more accurate drilling decisions. Overall, 3D seismic improves the chances of successful resource discovery while minimizing unnecessary drilling.
