Energy resources are required for human beings to establish the sustainable society. The information of sub-surface structure is essential to extract the resources from underground.At first in the present paper, the technical trends of geophysical exploration to grasp the underground structure and its physical property are described with emphasis on the necessity of the 3-dimensional survey and the presentation and the integrated interpretation of geophysical data by use of virtual reality information technology.Then, the technical extensions for exploration and exploitation of conventional and new energy resources concerning with petroleum and natural gas, coal, mineral, geo-thermal, oil sand, methane hydrate, micro-gas turbine and wind power generation in Japan are introduced.
