Hydrocarbon exploration and seismic investigation
Sub-Surf Rocks: This website is for A level geology students and their teachers. You'll be introduced to hydrocarbon exploration, how data are acquired and stages of seismic investigation. There is a case study demonstrating seismic interpretation and an exercise that can be downloaded from the site. Keywords are explained and additional links are provided. You'll also get the chance to test yourself with a quiz.
This site was developed by Hazel Mather, associate lecturer, with help from Dorothy Satterfield, senior lecturer in geology supported by funds from the UK Onshore Geophysical Library.
