Under the correct decision of a leading body at a higher level and after the effects of geophysists of several generations,some tomplete sets of seismic survey technologies having a Chinese land feature have been formed;seismic data processing grew out of nothing, processing level improved steadily;interpretation developed from working by hand to digitized interpretation and from an single structural interpretation to an integrated interpretation (including structural,stratigraphic and lithologic)and a reservoir description;seismic data processing software and seismic data interpretation software having an independent copyrights have been developed in seismic prospecting softwares. Learning advanced management experiences in production management,the Chinese seismic crew have stepped out of state and gone to world,there are footmarks left by Chinese seismic prospector in Asia,Europe,American and Latin American.
