With the continuing and in-depth exploration of hydrocarbon in China, we are confronted with great technical challenges. The R&D of high-end geophysical techniques to deal with complicated surface conditions, multi-type geological objects, oil field development and production, and enhancement of recovery efficiency have become our main development trends. Therefore, it is imperative for us to identify the key geophysical techniques of the highest priority. This is also a practical requirement for becoming an international geophysical company like BGP in the world intense competition.
