Czech term or phrase: dalsi vyvoj geologickeho pruzkumu
I found a term for geologicky pruzkum that is wireline logging, but when talking about geofyzikalni pruzkum the term changes and is geophysical prospecting.

So i am not sure if in my translation shouldnt be geological prospecting (or exploration, research). Or is the translation wireline logging correct?
Thank you

geological exploration
Explanation:
Exploration is the term you should use, as this is the common term used for "pruzkum". "Prospecting" is also valid term for "pruzkum" where the meaning is more specifically directed to finding a mineral resource. Research is the equivalent of "vyzkum". There is a difference, of course :-)
As far as the full term is concerned in the context it can be about "further geological exploration" = trying to find more stuff in the ground :-) or about "further developments of geological exploration" = trying to find out how to do the exploration further. The subtle differences are not obvious, but I hope you can understand, or please feel free to contact me if not.
This might be a helpful page (shows that exploration and prospecting can be used as equal terms) if you'd like to read more:

further developments in geological research


Explanation:
Not having much context, I would tend to lean towards using the broader term "further developments in geological research". Alternatively, one could use "exploration" instead of "research".

wireline logging (nebo well logging) je spíše sondování či hledání vody
geological prospecting je zaměřeno na hledání nalezišť surovin
geological survey je obecný geologický průzkum

vyberte si dle kontextu.

geological research je spíše výzkum v oblasti geologie
geological exploration je spíše geologické bádání, zkoumání, explorace
