Building a 3D Macro-Model from 2D PSDM Data

Saudi Aramco recently acquired 2D marine seismic program targeting the complex subsalt geology. Acquisition utilized a long, solid streamer cable with channels spaced 12.5 m apart. Shots were taken every 25 meters at the depth of 7 meters. The geology in the region is complex and changes rapidly from unconsolidated Miocene and younger sediments, to complex inhomogeneous salt bodies, anhydrites, limestones, and igneous rocks.
