Are these at or above the highest prices ever?

Not if adjusted for inflation. I remember reading an FR post a few months ago that tracked historical prices for gasoline in constant dollars. If I recall correctly, the highest inflation-adjusted price was in the early 1950s.

You are correct and it wasn't until mid 1970 that the number of seismic crews was higher than in the 1950s.
