3-D Seismic
Advanced method for collecting, processing, and interpreting seismic data in three dimensions. Three-dimensional seismic data are collected from closely spaced lines over an area and the data are processed as a volume. The advantages of three-dimensional seismic methodology include increased resolution (through 3-d migration and deconvolution) as well as improved interpretational tools and data displays (such as closely spaced parallel seismic lines, horizontal time sections).
4-D Seismic
The newest advances in seismic technology which now takes into consideration a 4th dimension; which is time. With 4-D seismic geologists are now able to monitor the movement and the mobility of oil as it is extracted in the production process.
99% point
the temperature at which 99% of an oil sample will boil.
