News Brief OMR Display Shows Key Tools in Seismic Technology DNR's Office of Mineral Resources has recently put the finishing touches on a display featuring seismic technology and geological information about the state. The display is located on the first floor of the DNR building near the Louisiana Mineral Board hearing room.
Seismic technique is an integral part of the oil and gas industry.
It also features excellent photography depicting different environments of seismic operations in shallow water, marshes, swamps, and deep water. The key attraction of the display is a large scale satellite image depicting the most active producing mineral leases in the state and a three-dimensional model which illustrates a seismic interpretation technique to improve evaluation of state properties for potential oil and gas reserves. Husband and coworkers of the Geological and Engineering section of OMR helped develop and create the 3-D seismic model. Bud Millet of LSU provided the artwork for the display.
