Abstract

See full text

A system and method for interpreting reverse faults and multiple z-valued seismic horizons. A platform executable on a computer is provided for interpreting seismic data. The platform includes a user input module for accepting user inputs related to interpretation of seismic data and also includes a graphics processing module for displaying to a user graphics related to seismic data. A reverse fault module is provided for enforcing rules governing acceptable multi-z horizon picks. Such rules allow a multiple z-valued horizon to be interpreted as a single horizon. The invention further includes methods for allowing a user to interpret seismic data in a reverse-fault environment. An interpretation of seismic data is displayed and reverse faults and multiple z-valued horizons are created and displayed within the interpretation. A set of reverse-fault environment properties is associated with the reverse faults and the multiple z-valued horizons.
