Abstract
Over many years 3D seismic has become a standard exploration and production tool providing meaningful and helpful images of the desired objectives. Seismic operations are conducted in many different environments, ranging from desert areas through arctic wildness, jungles, mountains, transition zones and out into the deep oceans. The seismic project encountered urban areas, international airport, densely populated farmlands ( mostly in the South-West area), military restricted areas (Airbase, Army barracks, etc.), gas and oil infrastructures (Oil refinery, Gas plant, DGS, well sites, etc), open desert, sabkha, environmentally sensitive marshland, open water areas and archaeologically sensitive areas. All of these areas were subjected to recent military conflicts and contain hazardous military waste (UXO, ERW, ammunitions, landmines, projectiles, etc.).
