New seismic methods and tools are revolutionizing how we explore for oil and minerals in Australia. By using advanced 3D seismic data, we can predict where resources are located more accurately and reduce costs. These new techniques combine different types of data to create detailed maps of underground reservoirs. By analyzing seismic data in new ways, we can identify different rock types, faults, and even oil and gas deposits. Scientists are also using seismic data to map faults and fractures in the Earth's crust, which is useful for both mining and oil industries. These advancements are expected to become more common in the next few years, improving our ability to find and extract valuable resources.
