Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001209

Deep Seismic Sounding, a geophysical technique that uses controlled seismic sources and widely spaced receivers to image the Earth's crust and upper mantle. It involves generating powerful seismic waves, often with explosives or large vibrators, and recording their reflections and refractions over long distances. DSS surveys provide insights into large-scale geological structures and tectonic processes.
