German term or phrase: industriell
In a geological paper describing the structure of the North German Basin: "Bis zum Beginn der 90er Jahre wurden in Deutschland in größerem Umfange (mehrere Tausend km) industrielle 2D-seismische Linien bis zu 14 Sekunden lang registriert".
Any ideas anyone?

2D seismic lines of industrial origin (caused by industry)
Explanation:
"industrial" is not enough.
Seismic lines are lines of earth movement, usually associated with earthquakes.
So "industrielle 2D-seismische Linien" can only refer to such lines as caused by industry;

As Alexander says and confirming my feeling, "industrial" is not quite enough. Whether or not the lines in question are of industrial origin I'm not quite sure, but at least he's put me on the right track. Thanks to all of you.

"Available Data Geological as well as Topographic maps in the various scales and Spot satellite photos in 1:50,000 scale, more than 600 km of 2D seismic lines are available well data from surrounding oil fields and deep tests are also available. "

and there are also

industrial seismic lines

seismic lines can have much higher frequencies..."
