In practice geophysics tends to involve a significant amount of work with sophisticated software packages, and you need good numerical analytical skills to be able to identify where data may be incorrect, or contain errors, so that your don't reach the wrong conclusions. A good knowledge of sedimentology is a big help in an oil company sense. Geophysical field work tends to involve big teams - vessels over 100m in length, pulling 12 cables each 10+km long, or large surveying teams with vibrator trucks (or even explosives)
