Exploration Geophysics for Petroleum and Natural Gas Resources

Abstract

It is clear that the exploration geophysics has clearly contributed to find petroleum and natural gas resources world wide.
In future too, there will be no method superior than the geophysical methods for this purpose especially in offshore areas and for deeply seated hydrocarbone deposits, although the methods shall be improved more.
The present review chiefly concerns with two geophysical methods, i. e. reflection seismic and gravity.
In this review, a short history of technicla development including data aquisition, data processing and progress in interpretation are descrived with figures.
