Basic Surveying. I was trained as a Landscape Architect. But have had 5 years of intense Digital Surface Mapping, both of above ground land and Below surface land, in the Below Surface land It was the worlds Oceans and Coastlines.

My Dad's Whole family was either into Oil Wells or Coal mines. Basic knowledge on the subject has been drilled into me. (pun intended).

Thanks for another Great Piece.

One question, I wonder how we could get a few 4D data spreads from Saudi Arabia? Even if we had to do them ourselves! (Yo, CIA goon, Take this hammer and hit this plate real hard! LOL,)
