Better identify hydrocarbon-rich deposits
Green Seismic works as well as a system of seismic recording devices, it gives an echography of the structure of the earth layers.
It can therefore effectively detect hydrocarbon-rich deposits. It also prevents the multiplication of unworkable and harmful drillings for the soil, which generate a lot of pollution.
