oa Trace Continuity Analysis for Structure Interpretation - Case Studies on Carbonate Reservoirs

In order to define accurate reservoir models for the enhancement of the oil production, a methodology of the structure lineament extractions from the 3-D post-stack seismic data is becoming more important, not only for exploration, but also for exploitation. Following the increasing use of interpretation software, which works on the powerful workstation system, structure interpretation has been made easier. However, the fault interpretation still has some difficulties. This is because the fault planes are mainly recognized as the discontinuity of the seismic reflectors. In other words, faults have not been revealed as the numerical fault "surface" to date.
