Abstract:
Seismic surveys over the North West Shelf (NWS) of Australia have generated one of the largest 3D seismic datalibraries worldwide with a coverage of ~325,000 km2 of mediumto high-quality data. A major challenge now is using the best tools and techniques to interpret these data in a cost-effective timeframe.
In this context, a major breakthrough in recent years has been the introduction of full-volume and semi-automatic
seismic interpretation tools that geologists can use to create 3D relative geological time models from which an unlimited number of horizons may be extracted.
