Title: Explosives for Exploration Industry: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Stanley L. Lippincott, Jr.

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

A wide variety of explosive products has been developed for use in seismic prospecting. These products are designed specifically for the unique conditions encountered by this industry. A thorough understanding of field requirements, coupled with modern, efficient large-scale research organizations, is essential if a continuous flow of new and improved products is to continue. Conversely, the explosive user must be familiar with the many products available, including a basic knowledge of their properties, if he is to achieve maximum energy return. In addition, he must recognize any handling precautions necessary with these products and practice good safety awareness at all times.
