Colton Dudley from richroc consultants breaks down how sound waves travel underground, bounce off rock layers, and come back with clues about what’s hiding below, oil, gas, faults, and everything in between. From thumper trucks and geophones to how geophysicists turn squiggly lines into real decisions, this conversation keeps things simple, visual, and occasionally funny. It’s a plain-English look at the science beneath our feet and how modern tools (including AI) are changing the way we explore and understand the subsurface.\nClick here to watch a video of this episode.\n00:00 - Intro\n00:55 - What is Seismic Data?\n04:21 - 2D vs 3D Seismic Imaging\n09:16 - Seismic Data Collection Methods\n14:33 - Visualizing Seismic Data\n17:49 - Interpreting Seismic Data\n20:54 - Processing Seismic Data\n24:07 - Applications of Seismic Data\n27:46 - Seismic vs Coring Techniques\n30:40 - Future of Seismic Technology\n33:26 - Offshore Seismic Exploration\n36:05 - Seismic Data Under Ocean Floor\n37:40 - Depth Capabilities of Seismic Data\n39:30 - AI in Seismic Analysis\n44:05 - Time-Depth Conversion Explained\n45:27 - Fault Interpretation Techniques\n47:30 - Velocity Modeling in Geophysics\n49:00 - Post-Stack Inversion Process\nhttps://twitter.com/collide_io\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@collide.io\nhttps://www.facebook.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.instagram.com/collide.io\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@collide_io\nhttps://bsky.app/profile/digitalwildcatters.bsky.social\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collide-digital-wildcatters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8F_7R-SE-nw_rUP_p1-vdDVWboJt_kcEhdbgrgTEL7E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYjY2/Yjk4MWJiZWFlYmVl/ZGIxYjkxYTdiYTdi/ZGUwMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
