With our dwindling supply of fossil fuels, oil drillers are finding themselves in great demand and as their techniques become more sophisticated Oil Fields are lasting longer and producing more of the black stuff.

For those with their head in the proverbial sand, this most awesome of scientific advances may single handedly do more to save the future of our #1, primary source of energy, Oil.

Now well beyond mere exploration for oil, these seismic images help to regulate and maintain optimum functionality of wells in the deepest, most complex and complicated regions of the netherworld and ocean floor.

With 1.35 trillion barrels of oil (converting all fossil fuels to barrels of oil) the US has more than another nation. Only Russia comes close - all others are in the dust individually, and even collectively in many instances.

BLATHER is the correct assessment of this article.

The methods described here are at least ten to fifteen years old or MORE.

Most don’t know a dang thing about oil and gas production.
