Today’s photo is of the recording setup for an LVL shot somewhere in the jungle of Brunei inland from Seria. The crew member in the red overalls in the background is most probably checking the connection of some component of our spread – either a geophone or an explosives connection. They guy in the foreground is standing by the triggering device.
Actually, the shot below is of a pretty shoddy job. If we’d done it properly, as we did most of the time, there wouldn’t have been any blow-out. Here, a large part of the energy of the charge is moving upwards as the shot hole blows out and the noise generated when the dirt falls back to the ground also degrades the signal. But when a shot goes well, there’s nothing to photograph.
Uphole drilling in Libya. The drill here is a Mayhew 1000 mounted on a MOL 6×6 truck.
