The STRENGTHS of Seismic Data Inherently 3-D (even if a 2-D grid) Able to image trap-scale structures Able to image stratigraphy, to identify reservoir, seal, and for use as structural markers, e. g. to constrain fault offsets Provides a 3-D context for understanding other data surface geology well data potential field data SLIDE 5 The strengths of seismic data are listed here Our interpretation is inherently 3D Even if we only have a 2D seismic grid, we map a fault on several lines and interpolate a 3D fault plane We are able to image traps that are the scale we would be interested in We are able to image stratigraphy, to identify structural markers that tells us the sense and magnitude of fault offsets Our structural framework provides a 3-D context for understanding other data surface geology well data potential field data Courtesy of ExxonMobil L 10 – Structural Analysis
