The deeper applications are in support of petroleum exploration and identifying gross characteristics of the sedimentary base and where the oil traps are contained. In many situations, basement structures that affect how the sediments are deposited have an important impact on where the traps are and the types of traps. That information is predominantly used by the petroleum industry.
Mining data would be from the surface down to probably a kilometre in terms of application, and groundwater would be obviously very near the surface.
