TITLE(s): GEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTOR (petrol. & gas)
Studies structure of subsurface rock formations to locate petroleum deposits: Conducts research,
using geophysical instruments such as seismograph, gravimeter, torsion balance, and magnetometer,
pendulum devices, and electrical-resistivity apparatus to measure characteristics of earth. Computes
variations in physical forces existing at different locations and interprets data to reveal
subsurface structures likely to contain petroleum deposits. Prepares charts, profiles or subsurface
contour maps, and determines desirable locations for drilling operations. Directs field crews
drilling boreholes and collecting samples of rock and soil for chemical analysis of hydrocarbon
content. May specialize in particular instrumentation and be designated Electrical Prospector
(petrol. & gas); Gravity Prospector (petrol. & gas); Magnetic Prospector (petrol. & gas); Seismic
Prospector (petrol. & gas).
