Although considera bIe efforts are now being made to find new
sources of energy, alI the experts are agreed that hydrocarbons
will have to provide the greater part of our energy needs for a
generation ahead. Exploration for and production of hydrocarbons
therefore pose a serious problem for our future, as much for the
quantitative satisfaction of our requirements as for our search for
self-sufficiency in energy. As a direct result of improvements in
technology throughout the world, geophysics has progressively
enlarged its field of influence in the realms of exploration and
production. But amongst the various geophysical methods available,
seismic reflection has gradually become accepted as the basic tool
of the oiI prospector. Reflection seismology has reached and
consolidated this position because it has shown itself to be
capable of adapting to the increasing complexity of the
requirements of exploration. Initially directed towards geometric
mapping of the sub-surface, it became the means of detection of
structural traps in geotectonically quiescent regions, and
thereafter in increasingly complex surroundings. It has enabled us
to clothe the structural framework with a lithology, initially
approximate, but becoming more and more precise, assisting the
explorer to locate stratigraphic traps. Further developments enable
us under favourable circumstances to estimate the quality of the
deposits and to detect the presence of fluids and of their
interfaces; it then becomes an unrivalled tool for the producer,
both in the development of deposits and in the application of
enhanced recovery methods.
