Japan's JOGMEC to conduct seismic survey for onshore oil exploration in Preah Vihear in addition to Kampong Thom


KI-Media Note: the following explanation was obtained from Wikipedia


Reflection seismology (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth's subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy, such as dynamite/Tovex, a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator, commonly known by the trademark name Vibroseis. Reflection seismology is similar to sonar and echolocation.
