Abstract:
As high-quality 3D seismic data has become widely available, stratigraphic interpretation has significantly improved our ability to predict the subsurface distribution of lithologies. Stratigraphic interpretation of seismic data involves the integration of stratigraphy and geomorphology, with integrated section and plan view images yielding robust interpretations of stratigraphic architecture and associated lithology. With the investment of billions of dollars in acquisition and processing of seismic data, maximizing the value of that investment by extracting as much information from these data is business critical.
