Sequence Stratigraphic Interpretation in the Wheeler Transformed (Flattened) Seismic Domain

A seismic interpretaion technique will be presented based on the Wheeler transform, in which stratigraphic events are plotted versus (psuedo-)geological time. We perform a chrono-stratigraphic flattening of seismic data. In the the transformation geological hiatuses and truncations are honoured. The Wheeler transformed data allows us to study seismic events in space and geological time, which is one of the key aspects of seismic sequence stratigraphic interpretation. The method to create a Wheeler transform will be explained, and examples will be provided.
