The compendium summarizes the seismic exploration history, geophysical exploration technology progress, application and exploration results of foreland basins and foreland thrust belts in central and western China.

The volume highlights the latest progress and exploration results of theories and methods in foreland thrust belts such as Kuqa in Tarim basin, Yingxiongling in Qaidam basin and Longmenshan in Sichuan basin. The technologies presented, such as wide azimuth and high-density 3D seismic acquisition and processing technology, anisotropic depth domain seismic processing technology, theoretical multi-information comprehensive structural modeling technology, multi-dimensional data fracture detection technology, etc, are widely used in complex areas such as foreland thrust belt.

This highly illustrated and readable reference text benefits professionals, researchers, teachers and graduate students majoring in oil and gas exploration and development.
