Geophysics

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001686

The study of the Earth using physical principles and quantitative methods. In the oil and gas industry, it involves applying techniques such as seismic, gravity, and magnetic surveys to explore for hydrocarbon accumulations. Geophysics provides indirect measurements of subsurface properties, which are then interpreted to infer geological structures and rock types.
