地震勘探中数字计算的影响是近几年来最富戏剧性的。在1972年全世界用于地震勘探的5亿6400万美元费用中有40％以上用于资料处理。可是奇怪的是,对解释是如此重要的数字技术却只占了这个总数的很小一部分。习惯将解释看作一种“艺术”,看到一些类型的新方法很不灵活就不愿应用。而许多能帮助解释的计算机技术还不能完全从探索的阶段进入生产。可是某些快速的被广泛接受的用于解释的计算,诸如地震模型,却进入了爆发性增长的阶段。
The impact of digital computation in seismic exploration has been the most dramatic in recent years. More than 40% of the $ 544 million spent worldwide for seismic exploration in 1972 was spent on data processing. What is strange, however, is that digital technology, which is so important for interpretation, accounts for a very small fraction of this total. Habits interpreted interpretation as an “art,” reluctant to see some types of new methods inflexible. And many of the computer technologies that can help explain can not yet go completely into production from the stage of exploration. However, some of the rapidly accepted calculations for interpretation, such as seismic models, have entered a phase of explosive growth.
