The 78th SEG annual meeting set gravity-magnetic and elecrtic-magentic special sections,with more than fifty papers for exchange and post.Based on deeply analyzing seismic papers and relavant data,we introduce the progress of instruments and software of gravity,magnetic and electric exploration techniques in 78th SEG annual meeting,and expounde four directions for the development of gravity,magnetic and electric exploration techniques,including aero-geophysics exploration,deeply into offshore exploration,borehole geophysical survey and reservoir monitoring,3-D geophysical exploration,and pointed out the prospect of non-seismic geophysical techniques in oil/gas exploration is integrative application
