During seismic exploration, P-waves (also known as primary or compressive waves) penetrate down into the earth.

The primary environments for seismic exploration are land, the transition zone and marine:

These guidelines have focused on the oil industry's seismic exploration for offshore oil.

The principal uses of explosives are in mining, quarrying, the building industry and seismic exploration.

Tovex is used by 80% of international oil companies for seismic exploration.

The company had planned to conduct seismic exploration along an 85-mile stretch of land.

Active seismic exploration reveals the nature of the deep crust.

Anstey's work in seismic exploration has spanned 7 decades.

He is still an active contributor to the field of seismic exploration.

In the 1950s, he began making major contributions to the seismic exploration, which are foundations for the standard techniques used today.
