Abstract

In recent years, a group of seismic interpretation techniques have emerged that aim to arrive at fully interpreted seismic volumes. Collectively, these techniques are known as: ‘global seismic interpretation techniques’. The classification ‘fully interpreted seismic volume’ is misleading as it suggests that no further interpretation is needed. In actual fact the fully interpreted volume marks the starting point for advanced interpretation workflows aimed at extracting more geologic information from seismic measurements. This paper gives an update on global seismic interpretation techniques and how they are used to add value to seismic data. Application domains include seismic sequence stratigraphy, model building & seismic inversion, geo- steering and geohazard interpretation.
