Key Features

  • High-resolution imaging of subsurface structures
  • Identification of potential oil and gas reservoirs
  • Detection of faults, fractures, and other geological features

Pros

  • Provides valuable information for the oil and gas industry
  • Helps in understanding geological structures and potential hazards
  • Can be used for environmental and engineering studies

Cons

  • Can be expensive and time-consuming to conduct surveys
  • Requires specialized equipment and trained personnel
  • May have limitations in areas with complex subsurface geology
