    1. Geophysical surveys such as gravity, magnetic, and seismic surveys are used to locate sedimentary basins and oil traps within them. 2. Seismic exploration involves acquiring raw seismic data from the field through sources like air guns and receivers like geophones. This data is then processed to generate subsurface images and attenuate noise. 3. The processed seismic data is interpreted by generating geological models and identifying potential drilling locations based on located oil traps and structures in the subsurface.
