More sophisticated use of seismic technology has greatly reduced the failure rate, making exploration a more cost-efficient process.

Successful exploitation of the reserves requires new drill technology and computerized seismic technology to work in water more than a mile deep.

After World War I, seismic technology, used for locating enemy artillery, was adapted to oil field exploration.

Acoustic Solutions to date are the pioneers in this field; implementing seismic technology within their speaker range the company has produced a cutting edge range of home speaker systems.

The three-dimensional seismic technology that essentially performs ultrasound on the earth clearly is a mixed blessing, both industry and environmental critics say.

Another example is deep-water production in the Gulf of Mexico, which would not be possible or economically feasible without the great strides made in seismic technology and drilling methods.

New drilling in the Gulf of Mexico suggests there are large deepwater reserves that seismic technology will make possible to tap.

The FER station became inactive in 1962 when advances in seismic technology rendered it and several others in the state obsolete.

It was also designed with first-world seismic technology, which supports earthquakes of similar magnitude as 7.2 degrees Richter of the day April 4, 2010.

The success rate has increased as more powerful seismic technologies have become available.
