Metal Posts are driven into or concreted into the ground at the intersection of two seismic lines.
To decode the inscription;
Year is 1991 followed by Line Number, then Vibrator Point
AP stands for the oil company possily AbuDhabi Petroleum.
I had an airstrip constructed in Southern Oman/Dhofar in 1971 when I was running field seismic operations there. I became fed up with the eight hour round trip to the nearest air strip to collect the weekly supplies.
