Abstract The “Summarizer” is a new device designed and manufactured by the Agip Mineraria Electronic Laboratories which gives an output which is a function of the total energy detected by the geophone spread. This paper gives some examples of its use in stratigraphic mapping. Test surveys have been carried out in an area of the Po basin where the formations show many facies variations. Three gas fields of known geological features were considered. The usefulness of various methods of representation was evaluated as well as the contribution given by the new device. It was noticed that the results given by the “Summarizer”, when added to those obtained by standard and “variable area” sections, supply the interpreter with new useful elements. Lateral facies variations between gravels and shales have been recognized and localized.
