<![CDATA[Seismo-electric phenomena gained more attention from geophysicists over the last de-cade. The development of theoretical background and the success of laboratory experi-ments as well as limited field applications give a lot of opportunities and hope as a meansfor providing exploration and production data. Seismo-electric effect accommodates anyphenomena which links seismic and electrical energy including seismic to electric conver-sion as well as electro kinetic in origin. Experiment has been conducted to prove that free ions can be considered to accumu-late inside a granite crack containing crude oil which in turn can generate strearn oscilla-tory electric current when a seismic wave hit the fracture. As a result, electric potential canbe detected at the rnouth of the fracture which intersects the borehole. The environmentalnature of the rnouth which is full of fluid facilitates the detection of high resolution seismo-electric signal by simple electrodes which is rnade of metal.]]>
