    In this picture, they are pumping explosives into a hole. The explosion will be sensed by a sensitive matrix of sensors to map underground formations likely to contain oil. (See previous image)

    I believe this man is a "juggie." The item in his hand would be known as a "jug" and is an electromechanical device used to pick up vibrations. This sensor is used in geological exploration for oil and gas by sensing reflections. Usually, these "strings" of jugs are laid out in a large grid with sensitive measuring equipment at the end of each string. By setting off explosions the operators are able to map the geological features deep underground to find features likely to contain fossil fuels.
